Default c6 DD?

So I decided on C6 DD rims. I have a black ws6 so wanted opinions as to go all black or with polished lip. And what size rim I should go with. Guessing 18 but what width for front and back. I don't know how wide I can go without running into issues. Pictures would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

I'm running 19x10's rear and 18x7.5's up front with strano springs. I rub in the rear if i take a hard bump (I plan on getting my fenders rolled soon) but It really depends on your suspension setup. to run 10's in the rear you'll need either a spacer or longer studs. I had posted some pics on my white bird on here earlier in the year - https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...installed.html

hope this helps.

I run 10" wide rears on stock length studs with no spacer...depends on the offset if you require spacers and longer studs. No rubbing either, but I have rolled my fenders. You can get 11" wide on the rears of a firebird with rolled fenders and maybe need BFH mod. I am on stranos/konis as well.
For the fronts, I have seen ppl go with 17x11, but it can cause tracking issues going with such a wide tire on the front. Stock T/A is 8.5, WS6 is 9 or 9.5" I believe.
