Wheel and tire dillema, what should I do?
I had a 98 Sebring Silver Auto Z-28 but I finally found my dream car, a 2001 NBM Hurst 6-speed Z-28 which I traded and bought yesterday. It's mint, had the window sticker in it and everything. My 98 had 17x11 TT2's with brand new tires on the front and rear but the 2001 came with 17x9.5 TT2's all the way around with brand new BFG GSD3's. I put the stock wheels on the 98 and took off all my performance parts, HID's, Halo's, Billet Grille, etc... My question is would you run the 17x11's because they look wicked or save weight and cost of tires and run the 9.5's all the way around? Or would you say screw it, keep both sets, run drag radials on the 17x11's and keep street tires on the 9.5's? I need help figuring this out. Thanks!

ok... the way i see it.. you have 2 sets of front tires and wheels with the 9.5's
match up on set of 11's(315/35/17) with your fronts and on the other set of 11's set a 315/35/17 DR on it!!!
IMO
