Default New Z06 Spyder Wheels installed on my red Camaro!

I finally got these bad boys installed! They are OEM GM Speedline competition grey wheels. Brand new, never installed. 18x9.5 with the 40mm offset.

Tires are Potenza RE-11's 275/35/18.

Car looks awesome! Same wheels as mine just wish mine weren't chrome. Would also like to know what percent tint that is.

20% tint. It's lowered with Strano springs. I might get the BMR drop A arms and to the hose mod now.

It looks like I have a slight rubbing issue with the front tires. The front, outside edge of the tires rub against the inner plastic fender liner when I turn the wheel. They just barely touch the plastic, so I'm thinking this might be either an alignment issue, or have something to do with worn control arm bushings.... anyone have any insight on this?

Actually I have the same problem with my car it's just the way it is I think they all rub . The only reason I say that is because my car has 2200 miles on it so it's pretty much brand new and I have rub marks in the same spot you mentioned above so I don't know if there is a fix I think GM **** the bed when it came to putting such a wide tire on these cars but if by any chance you get an alignment and cures the problem I'll have to give that a try so keep jus posted thx

Looks good.

Any chance of getting a side shot?

I have a set of 18x9.5 black ZR1 replicas on my 5th gen and it looks like when I sell them I might be able to offer them to 4th gen guys too.

Looks good! Car needs to sit about 1" lower though IMO to look perfect.

Yeah, once it stops raining here I will post up a nose shot. The top of the tires do not stick out of the wheels wells. They are just barely tucked in.

With the 3" true duals, I can't lower it anymore. But if you were to look at the passanger side, its about 1/2" lower... which is annoying..
