Default My new setup

Sold my ZR1's and picked up a set of DD C5 replicas from my buddy. They're 18x9 265/30/18 fronts, 19x11 305/30/19, running a 1.5" spacer in the rear aswell. I'm gonna be getting then re-powder coated next week gloss black. Don't mind the 4x4 mode I have Strano's and Bilsteins on order just waiting for them get here...

They make a 19x11 in the DD C5 rims? Where did your friend find those at?

OEwheels, they have vette offsets that's why I have the 1.5" spacers...

If I weren't running these 1.5" spacer adapters I would have to a little bit just for piece of mind but no I didn't. Prolly gonna get the fenders rolled once I drop it but as of right now I have great clearance and they ride smooth. My PHB needs to be adjusted just a tad to center the rear but its barely noticeable and I'm not gonna worry bout it until my springs get here from Strano so I can knock it all out at once.

Looks good, first time I've seen the 19" C5 dd on a f body. How come you're getting them re powder coated and are you putting the stripe back on?
