Default Having my C5Z 18x10.5 widened to ~12.5????

Im gonna be doing some major reconstruction on my T/A

Full tub, moving LCA, PHB, Coilovers, new moser(any width i want)

If you are spending the money on the car, go the extra distance and get forged wheels of some kind

You will thank yourself every time you walk out to your car.

I think they will rub like a mother! People usually have to do the bfh mod to get 10.5 wheels to fit. 12.5 is gonna be a bitch.

do you really have to do a full tub to fit a 18x12 or 19x12 in the rear? a mini-tub wouldnt suffice?
