[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 107281, member: 2"] [ATTACH=full]8986[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]8987[/ATTACH] Well, finally I put the base C7 Stingray wheels and tires on my car, then sporadically I decided to lower it on the stock bolts. My apologies for no proper before/after images. And shockingly, I didn't even measure the wheelwell heights prior to lowering. Anyway, a couple notes/observations. 1) It is insanely easy to lower these cars. 2) I should have measured the wheelwells before/after just to know how much it lowered. 3) For C7 rear wheels, use a 20mm hubcentric spacer for a 70.3mm hub. It's the perfect thickness, maybe just a weee bit thick. 4) The ride is much rougher with runflats and I can feel the added weight. It's almost like a flywheel effect. 5) You have to cut about 5mm off the stock studs to get the wheel to sit flat on the spacer. Not a big deal as it's only the unthreaded part of the stud. Other than that, pretty easy. Wheel weights: C5 polished rims with non runflats. Front 44.9lb Rear 49.9lb C7 painted rims with factory runflats. Fronts 51.4lb Rear 59.5lb [/QUOTE]
