17" ET Streets are here.
M/T PN# 3743. I have a set on order for a friend locally for $163.99 each. Should be here next week. My understanding is they started shipping Friday.

You might want to check with Summit. The M/T guy sort of alluded to the fact that they were going to be getting a sizable number of the first run for some reason. The set we have on order should be heere Friday. I can post a pic when they come in. If folks need more PM me and I'll put you in touch with my tire guy. He can get anything in the way of wheels and tires...

They are 17 x what? Will they fit on the stock C5 front rims? I have a old set of wagon wheels they may find new life if they do.

That's a good question. I wonder if the 17" tire, with it's lower profile will be more stable than the 16". I'll be curious to see how these tires handle going down the track with stock front tires. :yesnod:

One of our Corvette Challenge sponsors had a set on order for a "dogs age", but they came in last week. I did not get there quick enough, there gone already !

With my many cars I've never had a problem with normal radials up front and slicks out back. Actually the cars feel much more stable to me with the larger radial tires up front than with the skinnies, although the skinnies do cut .0075 off your ET on average.
