Wheel Gap

I forgot to mention, you may have some difficulty with spacing in the wheel wells. I had to have somone sorta pound mine back because they were scraping. If when you install them, they make a disgusting screeching noise when breaking, its probably because the wheel well is rubbing on the tire. Good luck.

It looks like you have the 18" and 17" combo. Did you have to bang the front wells because the wheels were too wide or too tall?

Did you have any problems with the rear wheels at all?

I'm really interested in doing this, especially visiting http://www.corvetteforum.com and seeing the current prices.

Any more info that you can offer, please tell.

Thanks,
Jesse

Yes I did

Yeah, I had my mechanic bang out the wheel wells because they were scraping against the tires. Even know when I launch the rears scrape slightly as the rear depress's . I probably need better shox too.
