Hey guys,
I just ordered a set of 17" ZR1 wheels for my 3rd gen. The fronts are 9.5" wide & the rear wheels are 11" wide. I was planning on running 315/35-17's My question is, with such a wide tire/rim combo, will my performance be hurt? I know that the extra weight of the new wheels will hurt performance, but how will the new wheels be for handling & stright line traction? I would think the new wheels would be benificial to both catagories, but I a few people I have talked to have said that a really wide tire can hurt handling & traction.
