Default 98 TA with Chrome C5 Wheels
Hi all,

Just got these wheels from another member here (Long Beach - real nice guy) and bolted them on. Makes a huge improvement over my stock 16" wheels. Up front, I have 245/45/17 and 275/40/18 in the rear. I'm actually thinking I may want 17" all around, so if you have 17" C5 wheels, send me a PM (especially if you're in Socal) Here are a few quick photos.

Stock:





C5s

Took a few more shots this morning. I'm using 1" wheel adapters in the back so the wheels aren't inset so much in the fenders.

Why do you want to ditch the 18" rears for 17's? For once, I think 18's actually look good on an fbody, and not too big. I say keep 'em.
