Re: 17s or 18s?

Re: 17s or 18s?

thanks for the replys guys, im gonna go with the 17s all around. so if i get 275/40-17 tires all around, would there be a big gap between the wheel well and the top of the tire?

Re: 17s or 18s?

what are you seeing about his car that proves to you it has drum brakes...?

18s imo, but you already know that.

93-97 v6's had drums in the rear....... thats how :-)

Re: 17s or 18s?

i think that 17's are the biggest that f bodys should go. 18's and up just look too out of place.

+1 ... I agree. I've got the 17 inch C5's and they are perfect for a camaro. Sure, on my mustang I am changing my 17's for 18's, but for the camaro, 17 is the right size.

Re: 17s or 18s?

most people i think will tell you 17s. i love my 17s. but 18s in back and 17s up front looks really good too!

Like getting the same shade tint all around, I believe uniformity always looks best. I would just get 17 or 18, one or the other all around. Why have a bigger size door on the passenger side than the driver. It just complicates things especially where wheel/tires sizes and costs are concerned.

Re: 17s or 18s?

You could set it up just like the C6 with 19's in rear 18's in front. I have 18s all around but I'm thinking about the 19s in the rear myself.
Or better yet scrap the plain chrome C6s that everyone has now and find some C6 Z06s! That would be hot and something different from everyone else.

Why don't you just put a set of bulldozer wheels on it.

:rolleyes:


I'd get 18s personally all the way around if its a DD and get the combo if not.

Re: 17s or 18s?

I have 18" all around right now.



But I plan on upgrading to a staggered 18x8.5" front, 19x9.5" rear setup soon and lowering. But I guess it depends on your styling; I've always stuck close to the european styling which is a filled wheel well, thin and tight tires. Where as the american styling is a smaller rim and bulging tires.

No, not necessarily. My 96 has 4-wheel discs..stock. It may have been the Y87 package that did it.

From those pictures there is no way to tell if it has teh Y87 package, so there is no way to tell if it has discs or drums.
