The wheels look good on your ride but I agree, everything would look better if the car were lowered.

If it were lowered, it would look something like mine below.

Hmmmmm................I am guessing............about an inch and 3/8. We have installed a half a dozen or so of the GMMG/Eibach Pro-Kits and that is what it has lowered the other Camaros.

I like the stance yours has. The kit I'm thinking about is 1 1/4" so that would be about right. I might be tearing the car up soon anyway, I've got a feeling the stock rear end isn't going to hold on much longer.

Do you know off the top of your head what tires sizes you're running? I'm sure I'd be fine out back (275/35) but I'm worried about the front (again) even though it's only 245/40... I want to avoid as much hassle as I can.

P275/40R18 Goodyear Supercar tires all the way around. That is the tire all the ZL1's came out with.

I think the 275/40's have too fat of a sidewall for 18's.

I really don't know. I do know that the box the Eibach Pro-Kit comes in carries a GMMG part number that is put on the box from Eibach so I can only assume that the GMMG Pro-Kit is built to GMMG's specifications by Eibach.

I think the 275/40's have too fat of a sidewall for 18's.
I disagree. IMO the shorter sidewall of anything less than a P275/40R18 gives the F-Body to much of a "tuner" appearance.

Stangkilr, I see you are in Blue Springs. Do you belong to the Kansas City Camaro Club? You should bring your car up to our show in July, Hawkeye Camaro-Fest 2005. It's an easy drive from KC up to Des Moines. Take I-35 north all the way. About a 3 1/2 hour drive. I know alot of the folks from the KC Camaro Club are coming.

jbuerke142, the same question to you too. Do you belong to the Gateway Camaro Club in St. Louis? You also should bring your Camaro to our show this summer. I know some of the folks from the Gateway Camaro Club are coming up to our show in July and some of us will be coming down again this year to the Supercar Reunion across the river in Collinsville, IL. The Gateway Camaro Club has their own show outside in the parking lot in conjuction with the Supercar Reunion Labor Day weekend.
