Default SS 10 spoke question

I have the factory SS 17x9 ten spokes on my car right now... I really wanna go with a 11 inch wide in the rear...

how come no-one makes an SS ten spoke in 11 inch width? every other wheel from here to Montana is made in different widths and sizes but not the SS version...



what the actual ****?


I really dont wanna go with the ZR1 setup because I dont like the look of them...

I guess I just have to find two spare wheels and have someone widen them for me

Widening is your best option

I have also wondered why, because I want a pair in 18 inch and wider for the back. Keep that stock look but more mordern with bigger wheels.

Amen! IMO, they are by far the best looking OEM wheels for these cars. I would buy a set of 18" with wider rears in a heartbeat.

Sadly, it doesn't look like we've ever had any good aftermarket support for these, so widening the stock ones are the best option to get what you want.

I was really close to pulling the trigger on widening my stock 10-spokes, however decided to pull the plug because ultimately I wouldn't be happy with 17" wheels.

I think the 09 Z06 wheels is the closest to an OEM 10 spoke in design which is why I bought them.

WeldCraft Wheels and Eric Vaughn Machine are my recommendations on wheel widening. And yes the SS 10 spoke wheel is the best looking stock wheel on the 4th gen!

Weld craft will widen them for a few hundred dollars and are close enough to you being in Detroit. Had a set of wheels widened and the quality is second to none.
