Default Skinnies needed for 94 model

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to find some new skinnies and I can't figure it out. I don't want to have to hack at anything, I just want to buy something new that mounts right up. Anyone know what part #s are available from the various manufacturers? I want something as small, thin, and light as possible. Will 16s work or do I have to find 17s? Could also use some suggestions for skinny tires too if you know about the wheels. I wish the sites just had a corvette tab to click on, cause I don't wanna have to measure and all that. I've looked at Weld and Centerline sites and found a 17x3.5, but I don't like the looks of it. I would think they'd have the site setup better for camaros and vettes and stuff.

If you have the standard brakes, Weld Pro Star or Weld Drag lites, 15 x 3.5 will fit.

If you have J55 brakes, you will need a spacer to clear the caliper.

These pics are of my '93 with the standard brakes. Click th elinks, pics are very large.
