Thanks for the responses guys....I'd say I probably wont lower it...I don't wanna get into having to roll the fenders on that car. I am kicking around the idea of headers, cam and 4.10's but I don't know of anyone around here where I live that is good at working on LS1 motors and I dont want someone tearing into it and dicking things up. Would it even be ok to change all that on my car since it has that low of mileage?? I guess it essentially isnt really broke in....sad to say. I did talk to a guy at a car show in Pigeon Forge, TN about 3 weeks ago who had a silver WS6 cammed, headers, flowmaster and 4.10's and it sounded wicked. He told me there's a place called Doyle's Auto Parts in TN....by chance does anyone know anything about them?

I've been thinking about the same wheels on my RED Ws6 looks good, I might go with the black centers, I'm not sure yet... What off set do you have to do with the 11" wheel?

The backspace on the 11" is 7 3/4" and the front is 7". The fronts are going to stick out about a 1/2" more than the stock WS6 rims and the back is going to come out 1 1/4" and will sit in toward the inner fender well 3/4". I still have about a 1/2" of space between the tire and the inner fender wall. I did not have to do any BFH or anything. It all went right on with out any issues. Personally, I'm not a big fan of black rims but thats just my taste. The rims are very high polished and I like the look of the shine but again its all personal taste. I definitely recommend getting the slotted/drilled rotors....it really helps to set it off as well. I ordered my rims thru TOMZ...I originally just ordered 1 rim to see how far it was going to stick out and if it would hit the inner fender. It looked like it stuck way out but then with the tires out it looks perfect. I think the 11" is definitely the way to go....the tires are pretty much flush when you look at it from the front and then from the back it sticks out more toward the bottom but just b/c of how the body and bumper are curved. The wheels sit in about half way in relation to the top of the fender lip on the car. I think it looks awesome. And yes everyone has TTII's but for where I live, I dont see any WS6's let alone any with TTII's on 315's. Someone else mentioned something about getting some exhaust tips.....I've got the GMMG tips...wasnt sure if they showed up well or not.

j/k, c my color 
Are you guys using a panhard bar since you have 315's or is it not really needed?? I've been kinda wondering about that, and which brand to get.

nice choice in rims...
Also a bit partial...
How hard is it to lower a car with the 315's on the rear, im already rubbing the back 11's with stock ride hight...

LOL....hell i actually did drive my car today thru town with a year old dead inspection sticker....up to 2177 miles now...damn thing's almost wore out. Rode and handled great....the 315's made it feel alot more stable going around turns. Did notice ive got a brake squeaking when I get down to a low speed like 5-10 mph...im guessing its just from sitting in the garage so long. Wiped her down and covered it up till next year.
