i like the big wheel look but would really like to see what one of these 5th gens look like with an 18" wheel set up and lowered to close the gap due to the shorter in height tires? preferably CCWs...or maybe someone with good photoshop skills can do one up?

IMO those are too small for that car.... I like 19's and wouldn't want more on a sports car... but the 5th gen doesn't look good with that size.....

IMO 18s would look horrible.. They need a minimum of 20". If I had one it would have 22".

Above looks good, but the fronts still look too big IMO. I think you could go 19/18 staggered and lowered.

damn i think that looks perfect but theyre 19s....ya 18s may just look tooo small. reason i wanted 18s was for the trie sizing of drag radial 315/35-18....

You can put an 18" Z06 wheels on the rear for a set of track tires. I'm planning on doing itthis summer. The Speed inc. car has that set-up on the rear.

That red SS looks cool except for the butterface and that hood.

Before seeing these pics, I thought 18s or 19s would be perfect...they are tooo small for this car. I guess you gotta run 20 or bigger.
