Default 16 or 17's?

id go with 16s....smaller radius = better acceleration. why not get rid of the bodykit...then you wont scrape for sure

get 17's they are def not to big.. and if you have a body kit 17 will clean it up nicely its not like your racing so diameter doesnt make a difference, but you wont lose to much if anything from 17" wheels rather than 16... your still gunna scrape no matter what... but your exaust should be fine

Uhm, C8's aren't available in 17".


And I guarantee you will notice a difference between 16" and 17" wheels, as far as performance/acceleration goes. It's all about rotating mass.

17's look better with body kits IMO........or grab yourself an OEM kit and some 16's!
