I'm shocked that you guys don't have this yet, it's pretty much a mandatory sticky for car boards :laugh:

So post a couple of your favorite pictures showcasing your wheels, and give us some information on the wheels, tires, and any suspension work.

***DO NOT POST TEN FREAKING PICTURES, PICK YOUR TOP THREE OR SOMETHING***

DO NOT QUOTE PICS

I'll start,

Staggered 17/18 chrome Y2K's
Crap tires not worth mentioning

I will for sure :) I already did the BFH mod and rolled the fender lips . I had
a 305/35/18 on there so its prepped already :) Im buying 1/4" machined
spacers for all around as well .

I HATE YOU!!!!! Ok, I feel better now. lol

AZ2ENVY -- NICE choice. I'd probably be trying those on my vette (have the C5Z version like that) if I could get them in 18's all the way around.

As for my wheels......can't go wrong with something stock, circa 2001-2002 (Speedline WS6 wheels):

Or some ultra cheap (at the time) Centerline Telstar's:

I went with the Deep Dish black ZR1's - 17 x 9.5 up front 17 x 11 in the rear. 275 / 315 Sumis. Little bit of fender rolling since the car is lowered slightly.

I don't want to run 18x10.5 on the front though.

According to the manufacturer, they are woking on a "narrow-er" Deep Dish front wheel for that set since it is so popular.

I loved my stock WS6 rims, but hit a pot hole. I found a good deal on some Z06 repos w/ 2 fresh front tires and I had fresh rears to go on them.

Quite a bit on the front, but I'm on an LS1 front setup. Telstars in a 15x4 with a 1.75" BS should clear LT1 front brakes no problem. All my work was chronicled here: http://www.fastbird93.com/Installations/Telstar.htm

Dude, UPS delivered 3 of my rims/tires to my driveway but took the 4th one back becasue it had to be signed for. Seriously:shiner:. Then I had to drive (1 hour) to thr UPS terminal to sign and pick up cause i could not be there for delivery due to work. The new set i had delivered to my work.

I dint think i posted my new set in this thread yet..
