Default Wheels 16" to 17"
Are there any changes to the 99 Trans Am to fit it with 17" WS6 wheels?
Ihave stock 16" right now.

with 18's you need to recal the speedo since you have significantly changed the rotational mass of the wheel. as for width, i think somewhere in the 11" range is when you need to do minor mods to make sure it doesnt rub
