Trending Topics
Cam305...sweet! Did you make your own white face gauges or did you buy them? If you made them can i have the templates and how you put them on? If you bought them, where did you get them from?
I actually did buy mine. Cant remember the price for sure, but whatever it was, it was worth it. I think the site was www.macewen.net, check it out, they'll have what you want. And they were easy to install. Thanks
Ok, the front wheels are 17 x 8.5 i think, and the backs are 18 x 9.5. I went with 245/45/17's on the front, and 275/35/18's on the back. I went with the lower profile on the back to gain a little clearance, since my car is approximately 1.5-2" lower. I put 2" spacers all the way around, and I ordered them from www.skulte.com. So far I havent had any problem with anything, and they all fit without rubbing. I do have an extremely stiff suspension, so that helps eliminate some of the rubbing I'm sure. Hope that helps...

Who would have thought that wheels that look so dumb on a Vette could look so good on a thirdgen.
Could you do me a favor and check to see how much space you have on the inside of the back wheels? I'm liking how that looks, but if I put those on my car, I would like to have the back wheels tucked farther in if there's enough room.

I never liked those on the C5, and I'm not diggin' 'em on your 3rdgen either. Sorry, just my opinion. The rest of your car is killer, however.

looks good 
if i had the choice though, i'd get all 17" fronts and run them though. I think the 18's are too much rim and not enough tire for the thirdgen.

FUGLY......except
I HATE THOSE WHEELS.....ON ALL OTHER CARS EXCEPT YOURS....HOLY CRAP THEY LOOK GOOD (Besides, gee a 92 heritage camaro, white with red stripes, and C5 wheels....hummmm na it can't be him, must be another one just like him b/s if someone is looking for you car they will find it....no matter if the see the plate or not.....you don't see 3rd gens likes you every.......day, na,week, na, month,na, year,not even, I have never seen a car exatly light your in my LIFE.
Pretty sweet. If you don't mind my asking, how much did those set you back? Don't know about that green though. The one thing I agree with Henry Ford about is his famous saying "You can have any color you want, as long as it's black."
