Default 16 inch ZR1?????

Anyone ever see a zr1 style wheel in a 16 inch diameter? Or know if you can put a non low profile tire on a 17 inch ZR1?? In my opinion both are retarded looking opitons, but this guy wants to buy my car and hates the rough ride of the low profile tires.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that pretty much a stock Z28 wheel/tire combo (16")?

I have a set of 16" white ZR1's from a 30th vert that I use as drag wheels. You can get 16" silver ZR1's off ebay. I don't see how the 17's ride that bad. My car rode great stock with them. It even rides great now lowered with Koni's and 18" wheels. If the guy wants a cushy ride, tell him to go buy a Buick or Caddy!

Just let him know that the ride isn't going to be noticeable different with a 16 vs. 17 inch wheel in an f-body. If your car is an SS, the suspension was tuned with 17" wheels in mind so the best ride will be with the factory size wheels/tires.
