Need Rear Wheel Advice
I'm looking for options for 17" wheels for the rear of my car. I'm planning on mounting a set of Mickey Thompson ET Street radials tires on them for the drag strip. Can I use a set of C5 or Z06 front wheels on the rear or would there be clearance problems? Thanks!

As long as the brake caliper/rotors are near stock size...no problemo!
I run front 17" oem Mag rims with 275/40/17s on the rear for racin and the only issue is TC comes on/reduced power some times due to the tire size reduction~i.e over 4% difference just driving around town or to the track. Just clear the code with the dick and keep on drivin
