Please post pics of your aftermarket wheels and tires!!
I like the look of the ZR-1 wheel, and I know that they make them with the proper backspacing for the 3rd gen f cars but I haven't actually seen any f bodies in my area with them installed. I would like to run a 17x9 or 9 1/2 wide wheel on all corners, but would like to look at some before I make my final decision. Do they even offer the ZR-1 wheel in a 17x9 or 9.5 sizes? Maybe I will run a 275/??/17 all the way around for street duty, and then throw on some Weld Pro Star 15x10 rear and 15x5 front when she goes to the track. Thanks for taking the time to hep me out with this, I really appreciate it. Thanks, Paul Moore

very nice! Any problems with the 275's rubbing? I have heard that with some 'minor' massaging, 315's will fit in the rear. Also, what would be the widest tire I could run in the front without causing fitment issues? Your ride is very nice, thanks for taking the time to post your pics! Paul Moore

17x9 ROH Snypers all the way around. Went with 255/40/R17 up front with 275/40/R17 in the rear. Hey Shifty how big of a tire can we safely go on the rear with these rims?

Just a question - why do a lot of people run 45s in the front and 40s in the rear? It seems like it would be the other way around? Does having the tire at a wider measurement create more side wall? Also, the snypers - they come with backspacing for third gen cars right? Without having to have anything customized?

Hey LBSZ28BLOWN: Those wheels look awesome. Did those need any 'special' fitment issues or spacers or anything? Did you buy them with the correct backspacing for third gen specs, or was the wheel ordered with a different backspacing to allow the 315's to fit? Also, where did you buy them at? Thanks, Paul Moore
