Default thinking about ordering some ccw classics for the trans am should i get 16 or 17s

I will be running a 408 with. 200 shot or more of nitrous. And im affraid the 17s wont hook as well because of the shorter side wall.
But I love the look of the 17s. What kind of 60 fts are you guys getting g with 315/17 mickeys

I did 17x6s up front and 15s in the rear with my Bogarts..In your case do 17s/16s.. I plan on doing that for street use! Only prob is limited sizes with 16in tires!

If your an automatic..Go 17s..6 speed Id do at least a 16 if not 15..but thats my thoughts!!

I have decide to do 17s x11 with 315s in the back and 17 x 4.5 up front. Cutting 3 inches off each side of the 9 inch and going with a 5.5 BS. Will that be the correct setup I will be ordering fully polished street classics and putting on 2000 Trans am
