Looks good! I run 295/35/ZR 18 rears, 265/40/ZR 18 fronts on C6 Z06 rims with bilsteins and eibachs. I like the stranos and konis better, but have other mods to complete first.

Did you ever have any rubbing issues up front? I would love to slap a 275/40/18 tire up front to gain a little extra ground clearance up front without a huge gap between the tire and fenders.

Other than a fender roll, did you have to clearance inside of the front fenders to fit properly?

I've got the same suspension setup. Current tires are 295/35/18's. I wonder if the nitto 305/45/18's would fit.

Rubbing? Not that I am aware of. Maybe only on full turns. The gap was the main reason why I went this route and it seems to have done that nicely. And no, there was no modifications done to the front wheel wells.

Looks GREAT!

Those may have to be my next wheel setup, but, of course, I would have to send them to the powdercoater for a solid (including lip) comp. grey finish.

The stance and wheel combo looks perfect! I like the look of those wheels. I'm going to look into those wheels and see if they have them in 19's.

Ride looks real nice!!!! What width are your wheels? Is it pretty easy to roll the rear fenders? Never done it before.

They are 18X10.5 and 18X9.5. Rolling the fenders were relatively easy but I was impatient and rushed it causing the paint to break away at the lip. It isn't bad though - I sanded it down and painted the edges with some flat black paint.
