I think it looks great looking at the front wheels/tires. But something about the rear tires/wheels looks off. Maybe because the tire is tucked up under the fender well or those tires are stretched on there.

I drove around today with a buddy of mine. He weighs about 200 pounds, i did rub one time on the highway right after a bridge drop. But it wasn't bad at all. I am getting my wheel spacers shaved off 2mm and that will fix that.

besides that, everything is still good.

I think it looks sick..people compare 5th gens to 4th gens too frequently and say the rims are too big or it looks silly, but for what it is, looks sweet

preciate it man. It took some time to get use to the fact that this thing is soo much bigger and heavier than a 4th gen. After I put the coilovers on it, and lowered it this much, it looks a little smaller to me. haha. But yea, i would never put anything bigger than 19's on a 4th gen. This 5th gen came with 20's from the factory since the car was so big. I just feel like the 22's fill in the gap just right. But thats my taste.

One thing about it...it stirs emotion. I love it! It is a TAD(maybe 1/2" low IMO), but man it looks evil.

I agree..not like you cant get a set of track wheels and tires to corner or drag race better if you wanted to..pictures dont do it justice im sure, i want to see them rubber bands in person haha

Thumbs up

If you didn't indicate they were 22's, I would've assumed they were at the most 21's. They don't look large. I think the angled lines on the car lend themselves to larger wheels (I was surprised when I read that the ZL1 came with 20's). The stance is perfect! Does the exhaust or tunnel brace prevent you from lowering the car like they do on the 4th gens?

5th Gens don't have the those issues with having IRS.

The stance and wheel size look great, but a big fail on the wheel choice with silver rivets and stretched tires.

the alignment picture brought back some nightmares. Top 3 worst cars I've aligned. Entertaining to think it was NOT the lowest car I've gotten on that rack. haha.

FWIW, the car looks mind boggling in person. Like I said when you rolled up my jaw hit the ground. ****. is. Slammed.
