Thumbs up Took The Trans Am Out Of Storage.. Couple New Goodies

I was finally able to put on my OE C6 wheels with my new Nitto tires. I have 285/40/17 all around

Also put on my LOTB badges and my 5.7 LS1 badge on the rear bumper; all from Emblem Pros

These are not the best pics, didnt have a lot of time. I will get better pics coming up








Here are little better pics I took this morning before putting the car back in the garage

All of it looks dope!!! C6 wheels just look great on T/As .... but I swore to myself that I would never purchase corvette wheels for my own. btw I think you should get red side markers . but besides that everything looks good and you even cleaned your wheel wells =]

I have though about lowering it. But I like the stock height. These cars are so low to the ground to begin with

I just need to get better pics.. Its hard having a family and working

Looking good! I'm not sure if I like them better than your old wheels, it's a tough call...but I have always liked those black C6 wheels, I was considering a set for mine at one time, I just didn't think black/NBM would be the best combo.

You know, I'm looking forward to getting those height measurements from you, but after looking at these pics, I'm really starting to think that mine is lowered. Especially in the front, my tire to fender gap just looks smaller.

Hey Mike. I totally frigging forgot to take the damn measure ments again wtf is wrong with me.

I think the c6 wheels look better than the TTMs I had..

Hey help me figure out my rattling noise in my Jeep. I made a thread on JFs... This noise is killing me and I cannot figure it out

Also for the rear of the Jeep.. do you think I should add stock iso again and gain .75" of lift or leave them out? The rear will obviously be higher than the front

Haha, not again!

Rattles are standard equipment on Jeeps, haven't you figured that out yet??

They're very much like F-Bodies in that way, lol.

I'd put the iso in the back. Personally I like the rear a bit higher, I like the rake. Mine sits high in the rear by close to an inch, I like the look.
