    Tire size depends on the wheel size you choose. I'd suggest 17s all around, as would most people here. You can get the 8.5" wide and run 245/45/17 or get some 9.5" wide and run 275/40/17 and be within 0.1" total diameter of the most common size for stock wheels, 245/50/16.

      2nd the 17 X 9.5 with 275/40/17's look great , I'd go chrome over polished , easier to keep up always look good.

              x2 on blizzard's word, and also check out fasttoys.net---i got my z06's on sale for 145 a piece there.

              listen to what these guys are suggesting, i was thinking 18's at first and did some research and took some opinions and ended up going 17's with 275/40/17 Nitto nt555 tires. I couldn't be happier with the results.

                      get 18" if you dont want to lower it. 17" on these cars look silly unless you lower the car

                              man you're lucky someone hasn't gotten in your a$$ and posted up a link to the search...

                              but if you go 17's (which i recommend) and lower it, get an eibach pro-kit for about 200 which will drop it between 1-1.5 inches and then you'll need supporting mods like upgraded shocks, an adjustable panhard bar and lca brackets to even up your rear end geometry, and the appropriate tires of course.

                              start getting ideas of what you like and we'll help you with the specifics.
