Default raked

I want a raked look for my z28. As of now I am running 265/45/17 in the front and 295/35/18 in the rear. It is also lowered about an inch with SLP Eibach springs. It looks like the car sits lower in the rear than in the front. Is their anyway to correct this look? Would running say 295/45/18 rear tires bump up the rear a little? Thanks

It would, but your ABS will hate you . . . Plus I think the 45 series tire you say is for a truck.

Hey, I know this is digging things up from the past a little, but 295/45/18s, say Toyo proxes fit for an SVT lightning, work pretty well. They'll off your Speedo, and you'll want to get ABS deleted, but it looks great, and although I'm sure the height is slowing me down, for street use, it lets me launch in first at 3500 with no problems, and spray in second at 3500.

Not the best picture to show them, but it'll have to work, since the car's at the body shop now from a rear-end collision.


Next thing on the list is to drop the front 1.5" and the rear 1".

It is because your rear does sag. All Eibach pro kit cars do. If you want a rake get some MAC, DMS, BMR, or Hyperco lowering springs.
