Just have to order wheels for stock SS and they will fit the Zl1 also
I ordered those exact wheels through ECS (East
Coast Supercharging) and got a great deal and great service....

Check with Matt @ ECS...

Thanks Sprspt for the info on the drag set up. I wanna get the exact same for my car. Might you have the exact part # for the front and rear wheels and front tire size handy or some further specs on the back spacing etc.?

I thought you had to change the lower control arm to use 17" wheels.

Man - I still swear by "15's...PERFECT amount side wall flex to stick. Just coils up, sticks and launches you! But don't know the fit issues on a Camaro.

Well you don't have to get huffy about it. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything.I had a friend that had a problem with 17" wheels hitting the lower control arm.

You're right...my apologies. I was in a negative mood at the time and took it out on you and didn't have a right to. I will play nice now.
