Thanks!
I need to take a good rear shot, need to get her in the sunlight better. Is kinda hard to see under there since she sits low. I went with just Basic Sumitomo HTRZ's

those wheels fill the rear quarters on that lt1 nicely, havnt seen one fbody that doesnt look good with these wheels yet, cant wait to get mine. These rear wheels make my rear look like its riding on thin bicycle wheels.

I've got a black 00 and I can't decide between the subtle look of silver or the sniper/sleeper look of the black ones? Poll what do you guy's think color wise on a Black Z28?

Is your car lowered at all? My car is lowered and really the only place that i need to modify is near the front of the wheel well, theres less than 1/2 inch clearence on my car so im gonna give it a little more room. Other than that i dont see any other place rubbing unless i carry a lot of weight, then it may rub the fenders cause the lips of my fender arent rolled. If its stock height you may have to do some work on the bumpstop.

I just called OE Wheels and asked about these wheels. They are in fact DIFFERENT than the ones they used to have about a year or so ago. This Morxchn design is new and has a deeper dish. The chrome ZR1s posted earlier are not the same as these new ones. They DON'T have any plans on making the new design in chrome. Apparently the black and silver finishes are outselling the chrome so they feel it isn't worth making them in chrome. Kind of a bummer, but maybe if more people called and asked about it, they would consider it.

I would think you could just get away with modifing the bumpstop, and maybe one spot with these wheels. They seem to have more room than the older ones. The only place i see needing to make more room is near the front. Ill post some pics of where i need to modify and how much room i have with my wheels.
This picture shows where the common rubbing places are, but the only place i see being an issue on my car is circled in red.
Now heres a few shots from underneath that show the clearence of the 315 to the inside wheel well which is almost 2 inchs. Circle in red is the same place that is circled in red in the first picture, and is about a fingers width of room.
And now the room from the tire to inside wheel well, and since my car is lowered the bumpstop should clear no problem, which is why on a factory height car you may need to cut the bumpstop.
You may need additional massaging i guess its kinda a try them on and see. Hope that helps a little.
