17" Wheels

Thinking about going to 17 inch wheels. Looking to stuff as much tire in the wells without rubbing. What are some options? Will some Corvette wheels fit my 86? BTW larger brakes in the future too!

late model wheels will fit, but you will need spacers. A few people on TGO run 315's on 17x11 zr1's. The require some massaging of the inner fender, but nothing major that ive heard of.
