True, I may end having to go to Hoosier 28x10 slicks, won't be the first time I went with the wrong set up! :lol:

Heh, that'll let you find the next weak link in the chain faster.

I already know all the weak links, I'll address them one by one, when I break them! 8-)

Looks mean! I was under the impression that 17's wouldn't fit our cars, guess they can, or probably rear only right?

Weld makes 17's that will work in front, as well. Just takes the green stuff! :mrgreen:

I just fit a different 17" wheel to the front. The only issue I had was the shape of the spokes. A 5mm spacer and the issue is resolved. It comes down to the shape of the wheel.

I know that Welds will clear the front, because several of my Chevy SS buddies run them. I'm just not going to run Welds all around, only for my slicks now. 8-)

Weld makes a 17 and 18, in the same style wheel I'm running. Either one would fit, I just like my Caprice-V wheels for the street. ;)
