17" silver SS or 16" OEM chrome on lowered Z28.
Ahhh... the joys of being in this position.
Same price, tire price notwithstanding.
94 Z28 lowered Eiback Pro.
Would the 17" silver SS wheels not appear properly, OR have driveability issues being lowered?
Would the chrome 16s look better?
Thanks in advance. I'm at a loss here.

diameter for scientific purposes.
As long as you increase the rim size, and decrease the sidewall of the tire, it will sit at the same height.
so you could say a 295/30/18 would fit - not sure that it is acutally the same size as above - but you see where this is going?

However... is there a calculation on the width which corresponds to the aspect ratio (dropped by 10 each time, but the width didn't show a pattern of increase).
