Wow, that looks great. Has about 1" more clearance between the tire and the wheel well than mine, and doesnt stick out as far.

315s seem to look better on the TAs than the camaros... i guess the rear bumper is a lil wider on the Ta's

Did he have to do any mods like rolling the lip or the BFH?

No, he didn't roll the lip or do the bfh mod, and yes, his hood is the slp ram air hood. He did a donut in the parking lot right after he put em on and he said that it was easier to spin these tires than his 16x8 good year eagle f1s. So, i guess that they don't hook that good.

I think that combo looks great. I'm thinking of going that route. Or I might just have my rear WS6 wheels widened.

Glad to hear that. He told me today that he really hasn't got a great idea as to how the tires hook yet. Its been pretty cold here the past few days so the pavement isn't cooperating. He said that once he drives it about 20 minutes or so, then goes from a stop, that they seem to hook pretty good.

'sup Mike!
Miss you on the boards man...

Anyways...i would say DEFINATELY widen a set of WS6 wheels...it would look awesome and be cooler then the usual 17x11 ZR1's
How many 17x11 WS6's do you see out there???
Do it man!

That is true, i wanted to do that, but the factory rims are heavy and widening them would make them heavier

Man once you get your 17's and 18's you will probably think different on lowering your car. My car looke like a 4x4 when I put my wheels on with no springs

OEM 17x9 ZR1's and WS6's weigh the same, so you won't be saving any weight by going with ZR1's. You actually might be saving weight because I'm sure 17x11 ZR1's are gonna weigh more than 17x11 WS6's.
