Forum member GTFORMULA got 15" to fit fit after some surgery seen here https://ls1tech.com/forums/corvette-performance/465553-will-15-inch-wheels-fit.html
I've not seen anyone get a 15 on there without changing the rear but you can get a 16 in there there with little moding of upper ball joint and then you have an option of using 16" fbody wheels.

I put 15" front Bogarts on mine using the Strange Engineering drag brakes.

That looks great. Does Bogart make a 16" skinnie?
No offense to GTFORMULA, but that grinding is not safe. He's taken at least 1/2 the caliper material off, at what looks to be a critical area. I'd love to see him mic that area. I can pull a wheel/caliper and mic my stockers for comparison.
IMO, extremely dangerous way to get skinnies on the front. Save that .10 or so and get new calipers/run full size wheels until you can save enough money to do it right.

got any ideas where to find a 17in x 4in tire that would fit??? or maybe 5in???
GTO spares are 17x4. u can get them for under $100 ea. prob is finding a tire to fit..i'd pull the trigger on these if i could fing the right shoe to fit them.
