Default do these look right?

Is it just me or do the front wheels look like theyre not sticking out enough

i got these directly off a corvette on which they fit fine... am i just feeling wierd (because i had 18's on there before and now these are 17s so maybe thats why i feel it looks wierd?)










(and yeah the front ones look darker than the rear ones but thats because of the brake dust theyre actually both the same color)

The Corvette offsets are larger numarically than a Camaro, so they get that "tucked" in look. That is why you think they look weird.

I had the same problem with my new car. It has the C6 Replica wheels and i had to use a spacer on the fronts and backs to get them to get where they should be.
