Default New Wheels for Birthday!!

My birthday is February 20,which is 14 days away and I'll also be 20 years old,my lucky birthday haha.Well anyways I figured since my b-day is around the corner and I been wanting some new wheels,that I'll go ahead and get me some(mom,dad,& gf will pitch in money as b-day present)I've had the chrome 16" stockers on my z28 for about a year and half,so I DON't want chrome,I like the black on black look so I will most likely get black wheels.I'll be ordering them from OEwheels,I'll get the wheel and tire package also.I'm leaning towards getting ZR1-Black w'Machined lip 17x9.5/17x11

My only concern is how the 315's will fit on the rear.My car is still on stock suspension,would any mods have to be done to have them fit properly or will they just slide right on?

Might have to do BFH mod on the rear but otherwise you'll be alright.

if you are on the stock ride height then 315's should fit with no problem in the rear.

Every car is different though, look up the BFH mod just in case.

Happy bday!

Happy b-day

There's a guy in the classifieds selling black zr1s 17x9.5 and 17x11, mint condition. May want to look into that.

On stock ride height you shouldn't have a problem with 315s fitting.
