Wheel Choice for 4th Gen Camaro - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Here are the guidelines/limits:
CAR 2002 Camaro SS (see sig)
-Must be OE style wheel d/t price (this includes the new C6 Grand sport wheel)
Links for wheels:

http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...hp?cPath=21_79
-Open to 17 or 18" wheels
-Lowered on strano springs/Koni's
-Stock calipers right now
-Prefer not to run spacers
-Must be a 200 + treadwear tire
-No tubs or mini tubs
-I am willing to run a larger front setup for competition and downsize fronts (and rears?) for the street

I would love to run the lightest style of OE wheels (if anyone has input on weights), and I would prefer to run this same wheel/tire for street and track (since I'm 200+ treadwear anyway)...I am planning on using the new Nitto NT05. Like I said, I am not opposed to running a larger tire upfront for competition and staggard on the street FWIW.

The NT05's come in the following sizes that I would consider: 275/40 17, 315/35 17, 275/40 18, 295/35 18

Looking for input from those who compete and who have gone down this road before...Thanks!
