First One (black): Nice tread pattern

Second One (white): Fugly

Third One (black): Don't like pattern

Fourth One (blue): That's CarNDrvr's, right? the winner

Fifth One (red): Looks OK

This is all assuming you're referring to stance and the tread pattern. I really have no clue which one would perform better

I'm referring to the stance and width. Thanks for replying!

That second one (the white iroc) does look akward. Anyone know what type/size of rims and tires are on that car? I want to get some 18X10.5 Zo6 rims for the back of my car...but not if theyre gonna stick out that badly.

Thanks Dude!

I like the 1st the best. I wish CarNDrvr had a better pic. I would probably like his better, but from that pic I can't really tell.

I would vote for 2 or 3. Nothing against the others, but 2-3 look different.
