There's that too isn't there? Ugh, 32 lbs is stock rear weight as I recall. I'm already looking at lighter wheels and possibly doing 19's with 305's on all 4. For straight line stuff, I've already ordered a couple 21 lbs 18x10's from Nineball.

I didn't know that u can fit 18" wheels on a SS. How about 17" wheels for a little more sidewall flex for straight line acceleration?

Some 17's can apparently fit. Texas Speed is carrying either Bogarts or Welds in 17's. The 305/45-18 is almost exactly the same overall diameter as our 20's, more sidewall than a 275/40 or 315/35, Nitto and MT have that size, and I can leave the stock fronts on and drive to say, south Georgia, Gainesville, or Orlando, without the stability control going nuts on the highway.
