Thats the first F-bod that ive seen that looks good with new Zo6's. Funny how some rims work on some cars better than others.

Wow, that car looks great.

Has he commented on the ride quality with 245s up front? I'm thinking of going that route.

That is f^ckin sic, dude!

Is that car black or dark blue?
Do you know if the rims are 8.5 front and 9.5 rear or can you tell?

I have a black TA and am thinking about getting the 10.5" rims all around. Anyone know if that's too wide or not?

I found out they also make these rims in a 19x10 size plus 275/30/19 tires are fairly cheap. I'm considering that as well.

I wonder if it would be overkill?
