Nice color combo, but needs some droppage.

I put a full tank of gas in there after the pics and now the back sits pretty much even with the front now. lol

It is lowered btw, 1.5" in the front and MAC springs in the back which i think are 1.5" also.

Did you have to put spacers or anything on the back so the tires wouldnt rub? I

you should powdercoat the rims black...It'd look like a fricking shadow going down the road. little kids would probably scatter in fear

For the rear I had them fitting fine with no spacers and using the BFH mod,but they looked to tucked in so I put a spacer on just to give it a better look.I'm going to roll like that for awhile and see which way i like better.

I actually like that combo on black WS6s. I prefer the 18s on the front too.

I like the way it looks. Ive alway thought the *** of the trans am was too fat and looked out of porportion with 17's. The front looked fine with the 17's but the back needs something bigger.

I have a couple questions. What size tire are you running in the rear? What size spacers are you using in the rear and what's the offset for the rear?

Haha sorry.

295/35-18

5/16" spacer

And offset is whatever a factory zo6 rim is,i'm not for sure but i think its maybe 56mm

Hope that hepled,or maybe someone will confirm the rear offset on the rear

I got them somewhat locally and paid $950 for the wheels and tires with the Goodyear supercar tires I think there're called,I would say the tires have 90% tires left and were only 4 months old I do believe.
