Default Anyone run an 18"/17"?
I want to get some CCW classics and also get some C6 brakes on my car.


I am pretty sure that the C6 caliper and rotor is too big to fit under and 17" wheel.


I was considering running a 18" classic up front and a 17" in the back. Anyone have and pics of how this looks or should i just run 18" all around?

Any opinions appreciated, this is going to be the biggest thing i have bought for my car....


Here is my car lowered on Koni/Stranos

I still have the lower perch and rubber thingy on top of the spring to take out if i need it a little bit lower

I completely disagree. I think it would look like crap. Definitely do 18s all around. I had C5 Z06 wheels on my F-Body and it didn't look too bad, now if I were to switch back to front?

lol, I've seen 17's up front with a 15 out back for the strip. But I think 18's and 17's would look alittle weird. Go 18's all around.
