Default FINALLY! New Wheels/Tires PICS MBM Camaro!
Bought these Z06 wheels and tires from a member here. Great deal. Black chrome z06 wheels 18s all around, 9.5in front 10.5in rear with 265/35 front and 295/35 rear.

The black chrome looks freaking awesome with the blacked out top of my car. I'll get better pics as the days go on but here is a taste as the sun was going down. The tires are insane!!! Twice the grip as I used to have.

Before:



After:

Thanks guys.

And yeah I had some money saved up

I'm working my *** off, and am still full time college student. Trust me, I've been waiting a long *** time for this moment. It's worth it.

EXACT same setup I went with except that I went 275's up front. The reason I like the C6's so much is to me they look like they would come on a new Camaro if the 4th gen's were still being made.

It's medium blue metallic. 99 model year only color, not available on SS, WS6 or Firehawk. Pretty rare.

Did you need any spacers on the rear wheels? It looks like mine are going to need a .5" spacer and longer lug bolts for the wheels to be mounted correctly.

There are different offsets it seems for those wheels. Mine have no spacers and they fit on just fine. What is your offset?
