the wheels were a direct bolt on
i just had the tires mounted and then i put them on , no spacers or banging, the only thing is i should have went with is 4.25 bs in the front. i 'am going to do the front C5 brake upgrade soon so that will push the front wheels out .300 and that will put the wheels were i would like them to be. if anyone is going to use a 245 up front on an 8 inch wheel they should go 4.25 or 4.00 bs , this for camaro's, i can't speak for the guys with birds, i will post some new pics tommaro. i almost forgot, for the springs the are suspension techniques they are 1 inch rear and 1.25 front , i don't like the ride at all they ride like a rock, i think i'am going to go with the prokit, i hear good things about them.

looks good, would have to disagree with the spacing though. if i were to run that spacing i wouldn't be able to do what my car does. 4.5 being the lowest...
overall looks good though, be careful with the rear. a lip that large will bend easily. i had to move backspacing out to a 6.75 on my 10" to keep from problems. also helped with lowering so you don't take out a fender.

[B] loose the attitude....some of these computer gurus are touchy aren't they?
all i'm saying is that you have to optimize your space....a car with that type of backspacing would have to be careful on suspenion choice.
get a grip...

you just have to be care full!
I went with 17's and the tallest tire i could get. I would be a little scared with 18'or 19's , the side walls or just a little low for the roads here, 18's or bigger just aren't for me, i prefer a little tire, For the ride height , i would not go any lower it's just not worth scraping the **** out of your under carage and i dont think i could make up the drive way!

you sure you aren't just scraping your airdam?
i drive my car pretty low on some bad roads and over some tall curbs and i haven't had much of a problem. just have to be careful.
