dont do it.. your car wont squat as well and transfer weight so your 60's are gonna hurt big time and if youve got a lot of pipe under there i wouldnt do it for that reason either

well I was thinking about getting the new c6 vette wheels and was wondering which ones to get... the staggered 17 in front and 18 in back or all 17? I want to fill in the wheel wells nicely to give it a nice stance, your input is greatly app.

but your car would be better with drag springs and shocks would it not.. theres no denying that the more weight transfer you get to the rear the better the launch.. stiffer springs and should would reduce that.... but anyway, i like the staggered look.. i have that with my z06's... 275/40/17 and 295/35/18
