17s all around
How many have put 17s all around on their car? In the market for some new wheels and trying to figure if I want to keep with the staggered wheels or go with same size on all four corners. Defiantly make rotating tires easier and it seems like there is more selection on the width of the tires.
Thanks,
Brandon

I wouldn't see why there'd be an issue with this. The rear brakes are pretty small so there wouldn't be a clearance issue at all and they're not as wide as the 18's so they should fit with ease.

17's at all corners just wouldn't seem right. May have an issue with the traction control system.
I'm running 18's at all corners but the rear are 12" and the fronts are 10.5".
If a vette owner is concerned with tire rotation they should get a mini van.

I'm looking at 18's all around
I'm not interested in rotating advantages. I'm looking at upgrading brake calipers and 18's give more options. I would be interested in purchasing your original 18X10.5" rear wheels if they are argent color.

You answering for me, or you got the same set up? But yes you are correct.
What he said /\
I did this so I could run C6Z brakes without spending A LOT of money on a light weight set of wheels.
