Well I think you should go whit 56Mm on the front and 50mm on the back...Whit this set your going to need to do some hammering On the back.... That's what I did just pound some metal....or check this post out...
And by 9 you mean 9.5 rite...

I just bought some 2001 Corvette C5 wheels for mine. I am waiting for the tires (from tire rack) to get here in the mail. They should be on by next weekend.

Did you read the post in the linked FAQ, which describes the offset and the modifications you may have to make to run the 17x11's in the back?

You indicated you wanted 17x9.5 in the front and 17x11.0 in the back. What other sizes would you like to consider?

Did you scan through the "sticky" at the top of the page showing various wheels for 4th Gens? Did you use the link to Brent Franker's 4th Gen "Appearance" site, with numerous pictures of a wide variety of wheels?
