Trans ams with 17" wheels

[IronOutlaw]

I want to see some good pics of trans ams with 17" wheels. Im thinking of getting some chrome 17" DD C6 Z06 wheels from OE wheels. Over on LS1 tech there are some cars running the C6 Z06's but all of them are 18s. I know 18s will look better but for a daily driver, I cant afford paying 900-1200 bucks for a set of tires every year or year and a half. I can get 17" tires for like 500-600. Im not specifially looking for the exact wheels Im buying but want to get an idea of what 17s look like on trans ams. I like 17's on camaros but they dont have the body kit around the bottom like the birds.

Please list springs if you are lowered.

If 17s look too dinky Ill just suck it up and go 18s all around or maybe staggered 18s/17s.

Stock springs , 275-40-17 on front and 255/50/16 on rear.

All of these are 275/40/17's. It looked better with the rear isolators removed but the driveshaft hit my driveshaft loop with my family riding in it.

Thanks man. I think those 17s look plenty big enough. I just didnt want it to look like I was riding on doughnuts like it does now with the stock rims.
