Widen the rears to at least 11" and narrow the front to 5" or so...it would look SSick.

I needed some opinions, I think i'll stick with the 35th wheels for a while. Im starting to like them again! I want to send them to weldcraft soon for widening!

Damn Perfectz28, that was my exact thought just then!

This is a picture I found awhile back of one of the Moderators cars. He ended up not doing what he set up in the picture but went w/ traditional CME.

If you don't think this looks good, I think you're crazy

You have to have the the right size tips and have them tucked up nicely to the bumper to make it look right. I have seen it done w/ the smaller Corsa clones and they were sagging and it looked like ***, but done right, like above looks BA!

for the pic above it looks like the tips are too far apart and they wont fit in the 6le valence... unless he was going to do something extremely custom... iunno maybe your right, maybe if i see it set up right it will look good but then again maybe not...

That's the picture that got me hooked on doing that set-up.

What do you mean that they won't fit 6LE's valence? Yes there's a gap in the middle, but Vettes have that too. I'm think about once the tips are on having emblempros create a custom plate to go inbetween the tips (again like vettes) that says "Camaro SS" or just "SS" in black and the plate be polished stainless steel like the tips. The plate thing is just in my head right now and not a certain thing.

Erik, I think you should go for those tips they look damn good to me on the car they're mocked up on!

Bill I got all of my badges from emblempros (http://www.emblempros.com/inc/sdetail/1699), I wasn't sure if it was going to be a close match to the oe stuff but his quality is much better imo! I was actually looking at the same wheels you have on your car before I found these.
