The ONLY 17" wheels that have been proven to fit on a SS Car with Brembo Brakes are Bogarts, Weld Racing RT-S, and Custom CCW. All of which are fairly expensive! As far as rubbing, it depends on your suspension set up. In some cases, the Weld Wheels can and have rubbed on the Lower Control Arms if your suspension is lowered. Bogarts are great "racing only" wheels that have NO fitment issues, but you will pay dearly for them.

Because Hoosier makes a 28x10-17 Drag Slick that fits really nice on 17" wheels, and there is no such thing as ANY 18" Drag Slick....only drag radials.
