86cucv,
I have a set of 17x9.5 fronts and 17x11 rears ZR-1 AFS with Sumitomo tires in the sizes your looking for on them, Hyper Silver with the polished lip for sale on here for $1000.00. They have the correct offset for 85 thru 87 corvettes so you don't need spacers. They have about 5K miles on them and are the ones in my avatar. Add was posted around Feb 28th. If you cant find it PM me and I can email you pictures.

This is what my old '90 looked like, only it was a coupe. One thing I would recommend is go up in size to a 285/40-17 tire. It will fill up the wheel well better, and give you a little more rubber on the road. The price difference is small, and no worry's about the larger tires hitting or rubbing on anything.

PS The Nittos are a good choice.

I think for the price, this is pretty hard to beat.

I'm still split if I should go with a wider tire on the back or not. Any input?

Ecklers sells these chromed rims for $800 plus S/H, and they offer a core exchange. But Ecklers does not come with the emblem on the center caps like mine has.

86cucv I really like the color of your vette and these would look great. These are the wheels I was looking at for my car but just couldn't swing the price for the wheels and tires.
I'll throw in a vote for deep-dish C5 rims - 18x10.5 on all 4 corners.
