Default BS Street Lite 17"x9.5" (Rear ) & 17"x7" ( Front )

Yes time for some wheels ..

I got bored from my stock silver 10-spoke on my 01 SS

And planing for the Street Lite 17"x9.5" for rear & 17"x7" for front
the reason for not choosing the rear in 11" is that I don't like to look of huge tires from behind ! ..

cause of that I choose the 9.5" to use same as stock tires 275/40
So is there any fitment issues with those on rear and 7" on front with 225/40 ?

If there is an issue with 9.5" and it cannot fit for sure I will go with those 11" .. It is the only way

and thanks for the example

I believe you'll want a 215/50/17 (25.46") its closer in height to the 275/40/17 (25.66").

No doubt, this SS needs to be lowered. I'm sure the owner will do that over the winter.
