OEM 19x10 Silver C6 Rims All The Way Around! I FINALLY finished a project that has been a year in the making to piece the package together. It all started with the purchase of a mint stock set of OEM C6 rims for $200. Decided I didn't want the staggered 18/19 combo, sold the 18's, had to find a set of 19's for the same price I sold the 18's for. Bought a used pair of 275/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires off of eBay, had to wait 6 months before I found another used pair. Had to get chrome AR lugnuts as well as four 1.25" adapters/spacers. Then, have everything mounted and balanced. I did a test fit several months ago and posted a couple of pics, but I still wanted to swap over to EradiSpeed rotors and repaint my calipers. I FINALLY did everything I wanted to do and put them on this morning. I'm VERY happy with the results!
So this is what I have in a nutshell:
C6 OEM 19x10 Silver rims on all four corners
275/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on all for corners
1.25" spacers/adapters on all 4 corners
Lowered w/Eibach Pro-Kit
UPDATE 9-23-08: These pics were taken right after I installed the rims/tires. My front end still hadn't settled in the pics. It did finally go back down and the front and rear fenderwell gaps are now ever and the front isn't a hair higher any longer. I'll try to post up new pics when I get a chance, but it looks MUCH better now then it did in the following photos...

Thanks guys! I was worried about the 30 series tires being a much rougher ride than the 275/40/17's I just took off and I was pleasantly surprised after I put 40 or so miles on it today. I couldn't tell any difference on the interstate and the back roads were fine until I came to some new construction spots and there were bumps and dips where they started and stopped the new pavement...I bottomed out on the rear since I also have SLP bumpstop spacers when I hit some of the spots, but it really wasn't too bad.
Isn't there some kind of clear black paint I can paint those red rear side markers with? I can't think of the name of it right now...

THAT'S IT!
...oh, and my neighbors grass in the first picture is actually it looking at it's best...He's gone 2 months without cutting it before and I had finally had enough and actually started cutting it myself with another neighbor once. I hit a mouse nest and started shooting mouse halves out the side of my lawnmower
...Now back to the topic at hand
