I don't know if I've ever seen an after market version of them in 17s. 18 is the lowest I've seen over the years.
Yea, I'm wondering if my OEM 19" wheel comes in 17".

As far as I've seen over the years. No.

18s are the lowest I've seen from the aftermarket. Since most people who want these type of rims want to go to a road course and not a drag strip. And drag strip people use Welds or similar rims.

As you probably know, you can't fit 17s on the front unless you change to a smaller brake setup but you can fit 17s in the rear without any brake changes.

I've got a set of 17" bead locks but the local shops stopped selling or mounting them, so I would like to sell them and find a set of 17" wheels like my OEM, and maybe put some Nitto 555Rii P305/45R17 or another R888R on them. This car hates Mickey's.

5th gen ZL1 rims also fit perfectly. I have a set I use for the road course.
Do you happen to know the tire sizes matching them? Can I go 325's with those rear ones?

Also I'm guessing the speedometer might need adjustment going from stock wheels to 19" Z28s?

The stock 5th gen ZL1 rims are the same sizes as the 6th gen ZL1. I only have used the stock size Goodyears and a 325 will fit but it'll poke out a bit over the rim.

I don't believe going down 1in on a rim will affect the speedo that much but changing tire the size definitely will. Bigger tire will rotate slower so then the speedo will read the speed as lower.

The smallest you're gonna find for our cars for the most part is a 18" wheel due to the size of the front brakes. Even then, it's hard to find 18's where you're not REALLY close to scraping the outside of the caliper body.

I need a non-bead lock 17" or 18" OEM style wheel for the rear. No other tire comes close to the MT ETS R P315/55R17 or P315/50R17 in height and circumference. Their 18" would work too.

I assume the rear calipers are not an issue.

I own 17" bead locks but most shops won't touch them.

Did you have to shave down the front struts to run those?

Why the 5mm spacer up front? And what brand did you go with? You track the car with those spacers?
