Default Cant decide on wheels need PICS!!!!

I have a black 1995 camaro Z28 and I cant decide on wheels. On the Sticky to check out wheels it comes up error. I am looking at TT2s,C6,Z06,Zr1,Z06 C6,Hopster. I need pics to see what the they look like. I would prefer camaros 1993-1997 but newer camaros welcome as well as birds.I am want a wide back tire like 295 or 315...17 or 18s. Need Input.

With going with a 315 would I be able to lower it? I was thinking about get the prokit that drops it 1.3F 1.3R, should I go with 17 by 9.5 with a 275/40. I have the stock wheels with 245/50 and from behide the tires look 2 skinny. Just looking for some input. Anyone have TT2 with 275/40 on all the way around with a clear back shot??

Yes, you can lower with 315's, but be prepared to do some work. I had to hammer my inner fender wells and roll the outer fender lips in addition to using an adjustable panhard bar to center the rearend (which you should do anyway). After all that, I still rubbed from time to time and I just got sick of it, so I started looking at 17x9.5 rims all around.

The answer to every wheel question is TT2. They should have come stock on our cars in 17X9.5 & 17X11.
