SS wheels?? 17x9 right??

Just picked up this 95 Z28 today. Thought I needed 2 Fbodys for some reason!!!

Anyway these are 10 spoke SS wheels right?? They only came 17x9 right?? Right now its got bald 245/45R17s on it. I want to run 275/40s on @ least the rears. Should have no problem right??

Also, anyone good wit photoshop that could do them in all black for me.

Thanks!!

Those are stock SS wheels, and 275s are the stock size for those wheels. 245s are actually too small.

Actually 245/45R17s are .02 inch taller then 275/40R17s.

Just a little info for ya..

And the rim width range for 245s is 7.5-9.0
275s is 9.0-11.0
So 245s i think are a good fit and i prob still will run that size on the front with 275s on back. I just like the staggered width look.

Are u sure?? 17x9 1/2
Slp sells 10spoke SS take offs and lists them as 17x9s

I thought all OE f-body 17s were 9in wide.
I guess i'll take one of them off towarrow and see if the size is stamped on the back.
