Hi there boseman350, you might want to go with the chrome Z06 rims. They're are nice and it'll be easier when it comes time to rotate. The disadvantage for a 11 inch rim is that more weight, bigger tire, more expensive, less performance. I just got the Kuhmo Ecsta MXs 285/40/17 on all 4 corners and no problems at all up front. My white SS has the Eibach Sportlines with a 2 inch drop and those tires are awesome. I just ordered the KYB AGXs on line from tirerack.com and can't wait to put them on. Take Care, Kevin from Las Vegas.
