Already told you in the CCW thread, cars looks awesome.


I like the color matched 5.7 and bowtie on the berger panel, really sets it off.

Oh, and also, like I said I was planning on getting new hoops (outer barrels as CCW calls it) for my wheels, but I'm concerned it would make them stick out? Anyone have some input of what my options would be to get a bigger lip on the wheels? They are Corvette offset!

Bigger hoops would get you a bigger lip. But would cause you to need wider tires in the rear.

Default ZR1 Rims on 93 Trans Am
I am looking for some wheels to run on my car until I can get a narrowed rear end bought as I already have some Prostar rims.

I was considering some ZR1 Rims as I can get some relatively cheap. Would I need to run spacers front and rear and how thick? What are the proper size and length of ARP studs to run front and rear?

Joe

PS. If you have any photos, post up.

Yes but wouldn't it make the wheel a few inches wider on the side that faces out thus making it stick out?
