Wheels!

[JETZ]

Thanks for the Kudos!

Yes 345/25/20's.

That looks great! 345's in the back? That is awesome, how big of a shoe horn did you use to get those to fit? I love the hood.

How much did you lower your car? The car has a great stance and the gap is about perfect between the tires and the wheel wells.

Thanks !

I lowered it first with the stock bolts. Then when I added the CCW's I lowered it more with C6 front bolts and longer bolts in the rear. It took a while to really dial in the heights so that it was perfectly where I wanted it.

Coil overs is a better way to lower it, but thats on my list

I have some comparison shots below.
1.) Stock
2.) Lowered max on stock bolts
3.) Lowered max on C6 bolts and longer rear bolts.

Those are excellent photos showing the differences. Being from Saskatchewan, I am not too sure I want to lower my car.

It's crazy how lowering the car on stock bolts makes it look like there are only two exhaust pipes and then you have to lower it some more to get all four back.

Great thread guys, Tires and rims really do make a car. I starting my list. Myself, I'd have to say the rims outway the tires. So Cosmetic is what I see over performance.
Cause how long do tires really last? Rims over and over again!!

I know.... haha.
My BSM's also fell off when I lowered it, and the windows were darker all of a sudden too...

Would it be narcissistic of me to say how much I love your car???

 

[HLN A55]

I haven't lowered it yet (just going on stock bolts because I DO live in Alberta) and I've got my eye on a set of CCW's LOL

Thanks for the cudo's ! I think I see a Mod/Red interior on your 01Z... VERY nice ! A set of CCW's compliments all Corvette's I think. Way cheaper than the HRE's/Fikse's/Forgeline etc...etc... Its truely amazing how the entire look of the car can change with a new set of wheels. Love your silver Z also

my true dilema is going it old school (headers, heads, cam etc) for adding some extra ponies (as it seems you've done) or going with forced air induction (APS or rear mount turbos) when management finds it easier to swallow the idea of MORE power is required LOL

Totally understand that. I decided to make it faster... before I made it look better. . I debated on the SC (A&A kit). I was just a little worried my stock clutch would crash soon after. Looks like you fixed your clutch already though. I decided on the old school muscle car sound with heads/cam/intake/full exhaust. I'm at 448/432 to the rear wheels. I still need a fast intake which could give me another 15-20 to the rear wheels. Not to bad for a medium sized drivers cam. :coolgleam:

Hear it on my video I made:
