18" C6 Z06's With Stranos???? OK so heres the deal, i finally got my new set of C6 Z06's mounted they are 18/9.5 up front and 18.10.5 in the rear with 295/35/18 Vredestein's in the back. I was one of the lucky few to get a new set of Sams Springs from him which ive heard will lower any where from 1.2-1.5 inches. does anyone think im gonna have any issues with rolling fender lips or anything??? take a look at the pictures the clearences look huge to me.... by the way i already hade to grind the bump stop a little so the wheels wouldent rub at all.. so please hit me with some info i know someone has this same setup runnin around.

can you measure the sectional tread width of the rear tires for me? I have 18x9.5 in the rear and it looks like you have plenty of room to add an inch of width back there.

I don't think you'll have any issue as long as the axle is well centered. You just need to try because all the measureing in the world still doesn't tell you what happends when the suspension is at it's full range of movement.

I had to grind my bumpstops. They cleared when the car was on the ground, but if lifted would hook the inner edge of the wheel. Not good! No problems after grinding. I was wondering about this wheel clearance too because I plan to eventually get the Strano springs & some struts to match.
