Thumbs up my setup your thoughts?

this is the setup I have down right now what do you think concerns, problems, etc.

rims - deep dish c5 wheels chrome (R)18x10.5 (F) 18x9.5

tires - Nitto nt05r (R)305/45-18 (f)265/35-18

suspension- bmr lowering kit 1.25" and either koni adjustables or tokico adjustable shocks

hoping this setup will allow for a staggered stance from back to front, and allow room for the car to be driven daily and not bottom out or rub constantly, what do you think..... or

305/40/18 rear and 285/40/18 front on c5 DD rolled fenders and 15mm spacer on the rear is what im running. fills out the wells perfectly but it is a VERY heavy set up! so heavy i am currently back on 10 spokes because of how much crisper the car feels on them. I will be sending them off the get widened soon so i can still have that mean look in the back.

I would advise against running drag radials in the front.

DD C5's 17x9.5 sitting on Nitto 275/40/17 in the rear with your choice of tires up front. Mine sit real nice with my BMR springs and zero bottoming out.

I love my 305/35/18's No issues with rubbing or anything with my Strano 1.2'' drop either





Tires dont stick out past the quarter panel either! CCW got these just right IMO
