You can use 4 17X9 ZO6 wheels, or the original 17's in front and 18's in the rear. There are no deals on OEM wheels they are about $375/ea take offs. Replicas are available in a larger variety of sizes but are just about as expensive. Try this url http://www.aaarims.com/

You can go with the 17x9.5 all around, or go with the 17x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. The 18's will rub, but can be fixed with a little "gentle massaging" of the fender well. Just pull out a hammer and go to town . If you do not want to worry about rubbing then get the 17's all around. I have the 17/18 combo and love them. I got them used off of LS1.com, so I don't know the best place to get them. The cheapest I saw was a little over $1100, but I don't remember the site. You may want to ask over on LS1.com.

I got mine at xtreme motorsports. I went with 18" X 9.5 " all around. If i'd do it over, I would have gone with 18" X 10.5" in the back.

It takes a little "gentel massaging" of the fenderwell with a hammer. My car would not even set down level after I put the wheels and tires on it. I had to beat the **** out of the fenderwell on the inside front area. A couple weeks later I got back under there and they were rubbing on the upper inner area, so I had to "massage" that section a little. In another week I will get under there again and see if there is any more rubbing under there. Oh yeah, I am running 295/35's, so it may not be as bad if you used 285's.
