My 91 RS gets some Corvette wheels!
Finally got my C5 Corvette wheels on, back tires are the wrong size for now but I'll just burn them off and get the 275's next time...Tell me what you guys think!

Looks good but definitely needs a drop now, 2" drop all around would make it look even better

Re: My 91 RS gets some Corvette wheels!
Yeah, I love the look of the lowered Camaro's on Corvette rims, but I'm worried I'm gonna wreck up my front valance, because it's a daily driver. but I'm not sure yet.

Re: My 91 RS gets some Corvette wheels!
My springs are not rs springs they are 89 ws6 springs, i replaced them last year (rs springs were way sagging and too soft IMO) So I kinda would rather buy some lowering springs than cut mine. But I'm afraid of poor ride quality associated with the lowering springs. My buddy has a 2000 Z28 with summit lowering springs and it rides horrible, I hate being in the car, so I just wanna make sure I retain ride quality because it's a daily driver now, and ride is pretty important to me.

Re: My 91 RS gets some Corvette wheels!
The door handles are from a mid 90's Cadillac. The drivers side is from a front door( has the door lock in it). The pass side door handle is from a rear door. It wasn't THAT hard for me, but I've been a metal fabricator in a race car shop for 25 yrs. Placement in the door is critical, when you get in there you'll see what I mean. Dean.

My Trans Am with 1/2 coil cut all around rides and drives like stock. It is smooth, comfortable, and doesn't bottom out.

Re: My 91 RS gets some Corvette wheels!
I like the look, but like everyone else has stated, you need to drop it a bit. I went with Eibach Prokit on my 91 and I'm running vette wheels as well.
