LT4 Wheel size for 96 CE LT4

[Dammit man]

My 96 LT4 CE has craping 97 rims on. They are all 17x8 if you can belive. :eyerole What is the wheel and tyre sze I should be running and if you know, where is a good place to get them.

The original wheels were "ZR1" style in 17x9.5x56mm for the rear and 17x8.5x56mm on the front for a base suspension or F45 RTD car. If the car was a Z51 car then 17x9.5x56 on all four corners. The tires would be 255/45/17 for the narrow fronts and 285/40/17 for the rear, base and F45 cars. With Z51, the tires would have been 275/40/17 all around.

If you like the same size tires and wheels all around, no problem. Get all four in 9.5 width and use 275 tires all around.

You can find these style wheels lots of places from ebay to MidAmerica and your local club's trading post. AFS makes the right size wheel also.

My CE has the 8.5/ 9.5 F45 configuration. I want to put 9.5's all around but instead of using 275/40's, I will probably use 285/40's.

Being a newby to the forum and to Corvette ownership, I have questions regarding the alignment on these vehicles. Is there a web site that anyone would recommend for alignment specs?

Thanks,
