Somewhere down the road brother. I just picked up some 243 cores and that money is being spent on AI 226cc 243 heads!

Thanks bro. I like the KDW'S a lot. I took traction control off and got on it pretty good yesterday and they hooked great.

What's the offset of the 18x10.5s. I just picked up a set and hope they fit my 1999 Z28...

I have 18s all around with 315/35/18 tires in the rear, and 275/35/18 in the front. I prefer a 275/40/18 in the front, but I got a sweet deal on some awesome tires.

The front offset is, 54 and the rear is 56. They will fit just fine. Keep in mind in order for the rears to clear the bumpstops and fit, you will need to jack the rear suspension up instead of the body. At least I had too.

Thanks and I will try and get some more shots soon. I have some, but they are too large to upload on here.

HOLLO, the car is looking great bro. At some point I will throw some 18's up front. That extra cash I have is going towards getting my 243's CNC'd by Advanced Induction.

Thanks man! I could understand spending the money on some heads though.
