Default New wheels/tires on the Hugger Orange Z

Got the 17 x 9.5 black ZR1s from Tomzwheels.....I love the way it looks.

In the spring, I'm going to lower it....that should look pretty sweet then!

Not the best shots, but I think they do the trick.

Thanks guys!

Lowering is coming this spring, I just bought the car in September, and if I lay any more cash into this thing right now, my wife will kill me!

I went back and forth for a while with the 11s...Can't deny the fact that a massive rear tire looks awesome.

In the end, limited tire brands in the 315 size and possible troubles with BFH mods when the car gets lowered came into play.

The car is also more of a daily driver, so I wanted to be able to still rotate em around....coupled with the fact that it's a low mile one owner car in great shape that I'm trying to avoid hacking up too bad...I ended up with 9.5s.

Thanks for all the compliments!

Great choice on size ! Im tired of seeing the 17x11 on camaros which do not fit. They 99.9% of the time stick out. Great looking car
