Can't make up my mind
 
Ok guys, im having a hard time making up my mind about what tire/wheels I should get for my 2000 Trans Am. At first I wanted Torque Thrust 2s, but then I found out that everyone and their mother has them so I decided not to. Then I decided on ZR1 wheels. 17x9.5 fronts and 17x11 rears with a nice big 315 tire. I want a really big tire out back, but now im thinkin i dont want the ZR1s anymore. They seem a little too plain. I want something really clean looking (like the ZR1), but not something that would be mistaken for stock. I'm thinkin, maybe a 9.5 inch wide wheel would be ok, all around. Can some of you guys post some pics of your 9.5" wide wheels and tires. I wanna see if theyre gonna be wide enough. Thanx

Have you tried doing a search? I promise it won't hurt.

If I could do it again, I would go with ZR1 wheels. The 11" have a really nice outer lip on them, kinda like a deep dish. Chrome ZR1 wheels have zero maintance and look great.

Torque Thrust 2s look good too, doesn't matter that everyone has them, not everyone has a F-Body and will still turn heads on your car.

You might want to look into some 18's as well. I'm old fashioned so I like the traditional rims. Nittos fit nicely on a 9.5" rim. So you can still have a nice wide tire out back if you go with a 9.5" rim.

I like the 17x9.5", pics on my site. I prefer a little thicker sidewall (vs a 18 or 19)
