Default possible to slow going to Z06's?

I got a 98 t/a m6...


I got the stock 16inch rims on there...


I'm considering black with chrome lip ZR1's


or black with chrome lip Z06's...


its a red car btw.. with black interior



I dont want to have an 18inch tire in the back but I want Z06's... does it look okay with 17s on all 4's?


or what about C5 rims?



basically will any of these slow me down from my stocker rims? I dont want to lose any ET...

A larger diameter wheel is quite possibly going to hurt your ET, due to increased weight, different rotational mass, and smaller sidewall . . .

How mush is more the question.

17" Z06's on all four corners looks fine.

I agree. 18" wheels look nice for sure, but the wheels cost more, tires cost more, additional weight. In my opinion, our cars look fine with 17" wheels. Especially with a slight drop.

Yes i like 17" wheels all around as well. The car looks very complete with them IMO. Wish i could find me some 17x9s with my crappy budget.

Try Ebay. Every now and then someone wins a set from AFS for around 300.00
