Okay, here's the deal....I'm looking for new wheels for my 84 Z28 and I think I've found what I want, 17" American Racing Hopster's
I tried the look out on their website and it looks good but I don't know what width of rim to get. I've never dealt with anything other than 15s. I like the width and the look of 295/50/15 on 15x10 rims. It's fairly popular and I would like to transfer that look and width to a 17. Should I go with 17x9.5? And what size tire? How big of a wheel will fit in a stock third gen wheel well? I'm sure these questions have been asked a million times but I'm lost in the sauce with this....Any pictures or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I know that 17x9.5 wheels with a 5.5" back spacing will fit on
the rear of our cars. I am using this size on my 84z28. I don't
have any pictures of them on my car yet, but they are going
on within the next two weeks. I will also be using 285/40/17
kumho ecsta mx tires on the rears. I have seen this size used on
other peoples cars with no problems (with the same dimension
wheels). Here is a picture of the tires (left 285's right 255's) and
good luck.

I'm running 17x9.5 275/40.

Do they offer a 17x11? If so, I'd get that for the rear and run a 315/35/17.

I didn't get a chance to take more images when I was test fitting this 17x11 GS wheel since it was raining. It had 335/35/17 tires on it.
