That was Patrick96LT4's car before it was destroyed. He would be the man to ask about the sizes. Looks like 17x9.5 on all 4s to me. Maybe a little wider in the rear. But I could be wrong.

So if you put bigger diameter wheels on won't your speedo be wrong? Can you re-calibrate it. Just wondering :confused:

Patrick was running 315's in back the wheel diameter stayed the same so therefore no speedo error.

Here is a pic of my Ride:

I thought that the Grand Sport Coupe was the only LT4 powered car offered with the 11" wheel. Am I mistaken?

I think Patrick had 285/45's on the rear of his old car. I emailed him with a question and he told me if i get those wheels i should go with the 285/45's in the rear because they dont stick out of the wheels well like the 315's. I dont know i could be miss understanding him but i think thats what he meant. If you know please let me know, because i may be getting these wheels and i want the right size tire in the rear :yesnod:

I'm just guessing, but it looks to me like they could be 285s mounted on 17x11s????
