I am very impressed by your creativity. Your car looks terrific! I have often thought about putting 315's at all four wheels. You have noted how well it handles. Have you noticed any improvement in stopping power? I would think it would be like hitting a wall of peanut butter.

What do you charge for a full exterior detail? Just wanted to get some sort of baseline. You can PM me if you would like.

I actually haven't felt any difference in braking.

Bro, i am jealous. I have a NBM SS and had chrome ten spokes and got rid of them cause i wanted 11's. I like my ZR1's now but you have to love the chrome 10's cause they are exclusive to the camaro and I think they just look bad *** especially with NBM. Your car is so nice, great job. I feel your pain getting those GSD3's to not rub. I did the BFH, fender roller but the double rod ended APHB helped the most. Again, nice car! (hopefully your 10 don't start to peel, that would suck after spending the $$$ to get them widened)

Yeah, i can get a pic up for ya in a day or so. And yes you will need an adapter still. With 2" of widening, i needed 1 1/4" adapter. So with 1" widening, you'll need a 1/4" spacer....however, your stock studs may not be long enough at that point so you may need to change to longer wheel studs.

Thanks again guys. I'll have some updated pics very soon with my slicks/skinnies combo.
