18" might fit on the SS with aftermarket rims with an offset. Don't know what the Backspacing/offset needs to be.

I am leaning towards either 305 30 19 or 285 35 19 for my tire selection. Like Doc, I am going with the same size tire on the front and rear.

I'm still waiting for my car to show up...any day now.
Check these tires out; they're brand new from Hankooks and are getting great reviews, they have good sizes and the price is very very good:

I'm getting a set of 275/40-19's. I had wanted to use the Vredesteins but they just don't make the tire size I wanted. The Hankook V12's look good too. They have the 285/35-19 you're looking for and they weigh 29.3 lbs and are going for about $221 each.

Yes I am wanting to buy vette rims, and what exactly is a wheel spacer and what does it do?

Wow, great thread and good information.

I have an SS with the 20 inch polished rims everybody seems to be selling. I would like some custom wheels, but am not sure which way to go.

I am going to put Eibach pro springs on the car to lower 1 inch.

Chrome stock wheels? I'm like a crow, I like shinny things.

Do I get new wheels that use the stock tires?

Do I get wheels that run the same size tire frt/bk so I can rotate?

Do I go up to 21's.

I am leaning towards keeping the stock tires to reduce cost, but don't want to screw up being cheap.

Any thoughts?
