17 Inch Front wheels?

[Tom Goldman]

I recently had a discussion with a customer about this as well.
There is no doubt certain newer cars might look good with them on ,the bottom line remains as to what diameter tire does your car require, and what will happen with less sidewall .
A typical older Stocker with a 27" tire would be like going from a 78 aspect ratio to a 60 , not too drastic a change . ....Going down to a 25" like a lot of 4th gen F bodies use ,the sidewall will be getting like a rubber band
I think the front shocks and suspension will be worked harder on compression since there is less sidewall to compress when the car comes down after the launch.
I've watched some slo- mo video's of front suspensions coming back to the track after a wheelstand , the amount of sidewall compression is almost shocking.
