Weld Wheel Size 17" or 18"

Looking to order a set of Weld RT-S S77 wheels while the sale is going. My question is whether to go 17" or 18"? Want to keep the stock Brembo's and would rather not have to modify them.

17s running stock Brembos did have to have new LCAs for the rear and tie back the brake line.

I ran the Weld 17" with the stock arms for a few years.
Depends on which sway bar that you have.If you have the late model sway bar,you have to trim the head of the bolt so that the bolt doesn't hit your wheel at launch.Think the 2011 SS,it's still the early rear sway bar setup. And yes,the hand brake cables needs to be tied closer to the arms to clear 17"

17" tire options are more plentiful and lighter, and cheap than 18s.
