Did you get the tires balanced?I was wondering cause if the tire spins on the rim will throw the balance off.

Yes, they are balanced. This thing ain't fast enough to spin the tire on the rim lol.

Thanks for the compliments! I had 275's which is plenty of tire for my power level, but they are narrow looking. My other camaro has 325's, which look good but don't fit all that well, and make the car look faster than it is. These fall right in between.

I'd love to narrow the rear and mini tub this, not that it needs it by any stretch but it just looks so bad ***. Then I'd run the 325 but it'd be tucked.

Thanks Larry. I'll be calling soon to set up an appointment for a tune. Think I wanna do that new dual flash ecu. Just waiting for some consistent good weather so the drive up won't suck.
What did yo have to do to the fronts to get them to fit, grind or spacer?

Actually both, on the stock brakes. The Aerospace brakes clear any wheel.

Not much grinding required, and ran a 1/4" spacer. Oddly, this car had another set of the same exact rims on it before and they cleared fine. Weird.

It's funny, they make the rears to fit over the stock brakes but I guess they couldn't do the fronts, lol. I got spoiled with my convo pro's.

I hear ya Duane. That's the reason I sent mine back to begin with. I didn't feel like grinding.

Car looks great! Wish BS would make a wheel to clear the front's without a problem.
