Got my new shoes today

Boss 338's 18 X 8 on front and 18 X 9.5 on back. 245/40/18 and 265/35/18. I can't say how much I'm in love with these wheels on my car. I know it needs to be lowered, it's in the plans.

Re: Got my new shoes today

Love the wheels and and the overall look of the car. One thing-it needs some badges in the stock locations on the GFX and rear bumper cover. I know it's a conveted SC, but maybe some RS badges as it looks like one now.

Re: Got my new shoes today

Looks really nice man. I would probably throw on some lowering spring to cut that wheel gap a little, but looks great man!

Thanks man! Your car has always been one of my favorites. Yeah, springs are on the short list after badges, parking lights and re-doing my headliner in suede.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the positive feedback. COTM would be cool, but IDK. I get a lot of comments because it's still a V-6 so I don't even know if it would get votes because of it's lack of performance. That's all next on the list after a few more appearance items that it needs.
I drove it to work today for the first time since the new wheels. Everyone went crazy over it. It was a good feeling. Man, I can't wait til spring to hit the local car shows / cruise nights.

Re: Got my new shoes today

I hate that style of two tone paint on these cars, but those wheels really set it off, and the paint scheme I think really sets off the wheels very nicely. Definitely a very, very nice looking car the way it's set up.

I know it's not for everyone. To me, third gens have the perfect bodylines to pull off a two tone paint scheme. Thanks for the compliment and appreciating what I'm trying to do.

That would look good. The reason that it is body color is because I'm a fan of the 25th anniversary Camaro's with the Heritage package. They all had body colored grilles which make them a little different and look really good IMO. I am going to paint the bowtie black though so that it doesn't blend in so much.

Looks good man, I have been curious how those would look on a thirdgen. Matches your car well.

Re: Got my new shoes today

Thanks man. I couldn't be happier with the fitment. Could have probably gone with a little wider rear tire, but I was worried about it rubbing + I got the tires on clearance so I couldn't pass up on the price. I see your local. You going to be at the F-Body gathering on memorial day weekend?

Hopefully I go every year, I'm painting right now, but I should be done in time for the show.

They look great! Have them in same rim size combo but with 275/40 & 245/45's just sitting on my '70 Skylark project...motivated now to see how they'd look on the Iroc!

Awesome! I wish I would have gone with the 275/40 on back. That looks much better. That'll be my next size I go with. Project looks nice man!

Re: Got my new shoes today

Did you have to use any spacers for those wheels? Also did you ever put 275's or even 285's on the back and have you had any rubbing issues? The body on my car is perfect and I don't want any rubbing. Thanks
