What fits???

I bought a 99 Trans Am convertible a couple of months ago
It is bone stock with 16" wheels and tires
I do NOT want to modify the wheel wells in any way
What rim and tire will fit without rolling, hammering ect

PS
Are there any Corvette wheels that will fit a 4th Gen Fbody
Without any modifications

Thanks,
Rob

Thanks for the reply
But, I think you're missing the main part of my question
What will fit without any modifications
I have a 97 Z and I had 17x11s on the rear
But I had to hammer the daylights out of the inner fender and cut the outside fender lip to get them to fit without rubbing

And I know Corvette rims will fit
But do they fit without modifying anything

Thanks,
Rob

As for Corvette rims, some like the ZR-1 rims and C5 wheels will fit without modification. C7's and C8 rims would be another story. Also keep in mind that it's not just the wheels but the tires you run. You can run 335/35/R17's on 17x11" wheels and they will most likely rub where as the 315/35/R17's won't.
