smaller sidewall....

i am new to the fbody world...i am redoing a 97 ta and i am about to order the rims for it. i plan on 18's and i am lowering it as far as i can. i love the look of all the cars in ls1 tech and the rims and tires you all have. my problem is that i was wandering if anyone went to a lower profile tire to have a smaller sidewall? i know the speedo will suffer but i really like the look a lot of the ricemobiles have. anyone with pics? thanks!

if you are worried at all about performance the smaller the sidewall you go with the worse your traction will be. a lot of people prefer the 17 because the balance of performance, looks and cost of tires.
