Default Body kits for a "different" application.

I've been contemplating lately putting a 19"/20" stagger wheel combo on my 98 Black Z28 probably with Boyd Coddington Fury or Hotrod wheels, unless anyone else has any better suggestion. Anyway, my question is, when/if I install this combo, i realize it's gonna make my rear end sit approximately 1" or so higher, I don't know if lowering is out of the question with that size wheel, so I'm thinking about a body kit too, to make the stance "correct" again. Maybe I'm just misinformed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Other than the wing, I think it looks pretty good. I suppose I'll get slammed now too though, But it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, I just wanna be satisfied with it myself.

I think the wing looks nice, now if it was just a huge unpainted piece of aluminum that didn't have lines that flowed with the rest of the car, then I think it would be ricy

lol sorry... The body kit I have on mine did make teh car look a bit lower in the front, sides, and maybe an inch in the rear, so to answer your question, yes the kit will make your car *look* lower.

However, are you sure you can't fit 20s when a car is lowered?

onehardmaro's looks lowered
