I'm itching to see pics too.
I have been planning this for my car too. If you dont mind me asking how much do the OE repros set you back apiece?
I wont be able to do it for awhile but after I do, I'm gonna get wood every time I see my ride. Just picture my car dropped a little with eibach pro kit springs and 18" chrome C6's.
At least I'll think so and that's what matters right?

The are not oe repros, they are knock-offs. They cost $850 shipped on ebay. 275's would look great up front but as you know from my first post, the front 245's were free. I dont think the width of the front tire is that important as far as looks go b/c you cant really see the width, especially with the RS kit. It would be nice to have 275's when carving corners though.

When I got my 98 Corvette the original owner put 275-40-17s up front but I swapped them out for the stock size which is 245-45-17. The wider tire up front made the car too squirrelly on bad roads.
