Default Wheels?

I just wanted to get some thoughts on a couple set of wheels I'm thinking about buying for my 2002 Firebird Formula. They are 17X9.5/17X11 ZR1 wheels or 17X9.5/18x10.5 Z06 wheels. I was just wonder which set would fit better and how they would look.

I think it depends on what size tires you get whether or not you would have to roll the fenders. You might want to ask in the wheels section to find out for sure

Did you have to mod the inner fenders at all?

there was a 2" by 2" little section that my tire was rubbing on in the inner fender, just banged it 3 times and painted over it, no more problems.

get you a set of drag wheels and Mickeys so when we go to the track you won't cry from throwing down a 2.5 60 ft. time. I know you chris, you'll be pissed if you don't hook that thing. Later man.
