does your "low trac" light come on a lot? id think it would since the wheel speed sensors would be seeing the back rotating at a different speed as the fronts...

As long as the tire diameters are the same front to rear he won't have a problem.

They look good, wish they were wider in the rear. But they fill those wheel wells nicely. Dont sweat what everyone else thinks, as long as your happy, thats all that matters. You have to remember, the car you have is a purists car. Most guys that mod these cars go for function over form. And when they do a little form, they make sure that the form still functions. For example, guys that upgrade wheels, mostly just do one size up, but a hell of a lot wider than stock. Just do what makes you happy man. If you listen to us, you will be on Z06, ZR-1 replicas with every engine mod known to man.

To flashy for me, but I like when they don't stand out and it just flows with the car.

They don't fit that bad, but they're not a pretty rim IMO. The biggest I'd EVER go on ANYTHING is 18". The bigger the rim, the more wheel you have to turn and more torque you need to get going. Lot of people have problems about being able to burn out with large rims.

It's not what makes us happy, it's what makes YOU happy. Keep your rims if you like them

I dont hate them. They are ok. I would lower the car about an 1"-1.5" and it will look a lot better. Everyone has their own taste.
