Default C7 Stingray Black Replicas

Has anyone got any pics of these on their Camaro yet? Just ordered a set of staggered 18x10.5's and 17x9.5's and waiting for them to come in so I can wrap them in RE760's

Thanks

Default Stingray Replicas

I was wondering the same thing, just saw these today and was thinking they would look good on my black '98 Z. Post up pix when you get them on if you can, would be awesome to see these installed.

Just got them today. Very impressed. Got tires ordered. Should be in on Thursday or Friday. Hoping to have rest of suspension pieces installed by then and get wheel pics posted

Dropped wheels off for tires today, but didn't hear back before they closed. So tires should be in and installed tomorrow. Might have to bolt them up after dark if I work as late as today. I'm giddy

are these with the correct backspacing or are you having to use spacers?

Correct backspacing for 4th Gen. Haven't bolted wheels up yet but there are MANY members running similar staggered setups without major mods. I might need to do a little massaging with hammer or roll rear fender lip but that should be about it

Needed a little massaging with a 32 oz hammer in the rear but I don't think I'll need to roll the fender unless I go a little lower (Very happy with stance right now!) I'll have to replace some of the undercoating sooner or later. It's pretty dry here and I don't drive in the rain so no hurry there...

I'm LOVING the staggered setup. Most rubber I've ever had on the road

Correct. I went with Bridgestone RE760 in 295/35/18

Been out of the loop for a few. I will try and take better daytime pics with my wife's nice camera tomorrow...

I am curious, why did you go with the 265/40/17 over the more standard 275/40/17? The 265's have a overall diameter of 25.4" vs 25.7" on the 275's of the same tire. Your rear tires have an OD of 26.1". I would have thought that you would have went with the 275's to more closely match the OD of the front tires.

I wonder how that 56mm offset on the rear tires compares to the 50mm offset I have on my 17x11's I did quite a bit of massaging with the BFH, so If were to go with a wheel combo of similar size to yours, I probably should be ok, right? I remember the original ZR1 wheel had a 36mm offset that made the tires stick out too far which is why all the aftermarket wheels went with the 50mm offset of the Grand Sport wheels.

Good looking combo though, I like how the wheels fit on the car.
