Default New wheels and tires mounted.

17x11 Vintage wheel works v48
17x9.5 for the front on the way.
Im going after the vintage vette racer look.
Ill be using L88 flares. This is the look im going after (the yellow below..not mine)









Ill be picking up my flares tomorrow in Houston. The flares add 3 or inches per side on the rear and 2" in the front .Just waiting on my 345/40/17 and front wheels and tires.

I agree!


(I was thinking of a set of those for my '96 Z-28, but in a FWD offset, which the 4th gen cars basically have, the Minilights unfortunately don't look as good...)

I freakin' love it! The movie 'Corvette Summer' is the first that came to mind when I saw your car.
