Default 17" Prostars!
My friend found some 17" prostars and put them on his 98 Silverado(has 02 ls1 with west coast heads/G5X3 cam... forged bottom end) Anyway, he got lucky and found them at a "CLOSING SALE" at a shop in town...

You know where I can find some for my LT1 Camaro?

If your planning on putting the Dragstars from greg weld on your 4th gen, you will have to settle with a 6.5 bs on the 15x10. Some people say they look just right on the cars, and some don't like the look. Personally if you do the 275 route instead of the 315(which is unnecessarily large for a street car) it looks just right
