18 inch Z06's
 
Hey guys I am thinking about putting 18 inch chrome Z06's wrapped in 275/35/18 tires on my 98 Z28. My question is, will the car's stance be really high and look stupid due to the 18's? I noticed that most people on here that have 18's have lowered their car, but personally I don't like the look of a lowered Z. Give me some of your opinions, and possibly some pictures of 98+ Z28's with 18's without lowering springs, so that I can get an idea of what it looks like. Thanks for your help guys.

As long as the tire is the same height as stock (26") then it will not lower or raise the vehicle. You're just trading sidewall for wheel, so to speak. Hope this helps.

When I got my 18's, I thought to myself that I didn't want to lower my car either. I changed my mind after I got my
last wheels. Check sig.

18's and not lowered doesn't look stupid, but it doesn't look right.

Good Luck...!

like tuffluck said, there is no way your car is lowered 3.5 inches. unless you are riding a air ride suspension. it doesnt look like 3.5 inches either but i could be wrong.

Definatly not a 3.5 drop. Mines 2 all around and is lower than that. He probably meant to put 1.5 (thats what the drop looks like) and made a typo.

The DMS springs make it stand nicely....

EVERY LS1 F-body needs to be lowered. The Big Foot look is terrible.
