Default Wheels Fit Perfect! Pics In Here.

I'm sure as some of you read, I was worried about these fitting. They are
18 X 9.5 with offset of 58mm all the way around. I was worried about fitting
on the front, but it fits perfect. Very very close, but they do fit. I went with Nitto 555 275/35's. I think it looks clean with the wheels tucked away inside the fenders and qt. panels.

Nice setup. I think it just needs to be lowered a bit.

It does have Eibach springs and bilstein shocks. I can't lower it anymore because of the exhaust. I'll have major problems hitting and scraping.

Yeah, it is very loud, but not too loud. Sounds awesome though.

the rears look a little too tucked in for my liking but the wheels still look great. I just recently put some OEM Z06 wheels with a 61mm offset (?) but since they are 10.5'' wide and I put a GM 2/16'' spacer they don't look so tucked in.

Thank you all for the great comments. I wanted to stay away from the wheels sticking out for the fact of rocks and road crap from hitting the body of the car. My plan was to have a clean factory look.

I don't have any dyno numbers yet. I plan on doing that towards mid summer when I get done with a couple other things I plan on doing. I just got gears, I hope to put those in next week.
