Default Lets see some 98+ vert pics with various wheel/tire set up

So I'm finally winding down on fine tuning the vert and a bit of touch up to perfect her but am at a loss for wheels. My car is a black 02 Z28/SS clone and is very close to mint ext/int/top, My current wheels are the chrome 17x9's off my previous Z28 coupe. I would like a slightly wider stance out back and plan on maybe lowering it just a shade,this will be my daily driver and I'm looking at comfort too to a degree. Lets see what some pics and as always your advice is much appreciated thanx

Ps - I will be viewing this from my phone while on the road for aweek but won't be able to respond until back home or at a computer (as I drive trucks) .

YAY a chance to show off my pile...
Here is mine with the 17x9.5/17x11 with 275/40 up front and 315/35 on the rear.

I only used the hose mod in the rear for lowering.

Finally got to a computer here at one of my terminals in Cincinatti Oh and everything I've seen is just amazing. Thanx fella's for the pics, totally bad-*** rides now I'm at a loss for what I want lol, The Torque Thrust II's is prolly what I'm going with, the red rag top with the C6 chromie's looked killer too. Imho there is nothing like a rag top LS1 on a decent set of wheels for eye candy. We all obviously have the good taste mod!
