Snapped some quick photos over the holiday weekend. Definitely a more aggressive look over the stock 10 spokes!

That is one S-W-E-E-T looking 'almost square' set up on there!!

I cannot imagine that car looking any better than it does, and you picked the 'correct' rubber to have it PERFORM as well as it looks!

Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words. I still would like to lower the front about 1" and upgrade the fronts to Brembo 4 pistons, but other than that it's staying as is. The r888's surely do help put the 500+ whp/tq to the ground!

I went with 295's up front (see pics in my post above) as the 275's can look a little too stretched for my personal liking.

You went with 295/35/18 for the front. Did you go with 305/35 for the rears? And is that is stock size rear end?

The fronts are 295/30r18 and the rears are 315/30r18. Correct, stock 10 bolt and stock length.

Would love to see these on a white catfish...

I did come across a car that a magazine had built that had these wheels on it...and a 416. Guy picked it up with 700 miles, and drove it 3000 miles home.

I might have missed it, but man these look great. I might have to sell a kidney or two to make this happen on my car. if there is a chance that you guys could snap a pick from directly behind the car like down the rear fenders; I would like to see if the tires are peeking out past the fender or not. If they are completely flush, I might have to pull the trigger on these.

This is the best pic I have right now that shows how flush they are.

I know this is an old thread but had a question on the pad height. For those of you running the ctsv gen 2 calipers, do you need high pad for both the front and rear?

Thanks

And if you want it with the anodized black face, just add a "B" after the 71H - so 71HB would give you the anodized face.
