Default C6 wheel question filament/sensors

I have a 96 LT4 and just sold the black ZR1 9.5/11 black wheel combo. I was just going to order the same in chrome but then we had a new Z06 come in to the dealership and it has be thinking. I know I can get aftermarket versions of the C6 wheels 17x9/18x10 and tire packages pretty reasonable. What tire size would you guys suggest to "fill" the wheel wells out like the 315-35-17's. Also were al 96 vettes equipped with tire monitors and can a guy just pull the bulb on that system if I choose not to put monitors in?

No, not all '96 Vettes cames with the tire pressure monitoring system. My LT4 does not have it. I have heard of others choosing not to keep it, and they just pulled the bulb as you suggest. I am not sure if you can actually disable it or not.

As for the tire sizes, there are lots of opinions on that too. If it was mine, I would stay with the the size you have. You can lower the car some and make it pretty wicked looking. I am sure someone else can help with suggestions there.
