Just to follow up on this thread, I have been running this setup for some time now, and it seems to work just fine. Granted, I haven't driven much, as I have been doing bodywork and paint on the car. However, I just picked up a set of BBS RS026 wheels which will replace the Trans Am wheels. The RS026 came stock on some special edition of the C4 Corvette, so that means I will be doing the same thing w machining the bore and lug seats. However, they are 16x10 ET36, so I can fit wider tires in the rear. I plan to run 245/45/16 in the rear. I will probably buy skinnier inner barrels for the front fitment and convert the front wheels from 16x10 to 16x8 and either run 205/55/16 or 215/50/16, haven't decided yet.
