M&H 275 /50 /15 is 26 inches. I dont know if thats wide enough for the "look" but must hook very well.

They no longer make the CCW classic 17x4.5 front runner... They replaced it with the SP20 1 piece rim...

17x4 front 17x11 rear, just bolt them on,
i am having them build me a set of 16" for the rear
now to run a 28x10 or 26x10 slick, then i will need to swap to c-6 base rear brakes, to much $ to do the 15"
spindels, i think the 16" will be close enough

The spindles for 15" are around 1400 bucks. You gain a share of that back becaue 15 inch wheels and tires are considerably cheaper than 17. You also have a bigger selection of tires.

Those are EXTREMLY popular, as the 18x13 can also be used for road racing as well as drag racing, and clears the rear brakes on ZR1's as well. Hoosier makes a 315/30/18 drag radial that comes in at 25 lbs...not bad for an 18" tire.
