Looks good minus the fact that every person has ZR1's. How wide are the tires? 315? 335?

Yea, I really like the ZR1's, especially the rear 11"ers even though allot of people have them. Not to worried, there seems like there are not too many SS's in PGH. Yes, they're 315's out back, I can't imagine fitting anything bigger, nor would I want to. These are on the border of too big looking. I took every precaution to get them to fit, rolled the fenders, grinded down the bump stop mounts, and BFHed the inner fender wells. I even raked it up a bit in the back with a rear ride height adjustment kit. I might drop it down in the back a bit later...

The tires are virgins, not even 50 miles on them... I guess I'll head out to the garage and break out the Armor All...

Is it just me or are you missing the 'M' insert?

Nice brakes

Ha, that's funny, must be the way the light was hitting the chrome. If the M was missing, I'd probably wouldn't even drive it...

I have my entire suspension done, no power adder other than my GMMG and lid with CAI. The tires feel great so far. I had KDW's prior to these and they were great too. The back end does feel more planted especially accellerating out of sharp turns. I know the GS D3's are supposed to be great in the rain but I usually never drive the car in the rain, only when the weather man F's up...
