New Wheels and Seats
I'm finally getting around to modding/restoring my 92 Z28. I bought the car back in 2005. Since then I've just been tinkering around with it to get it to run right. The car has every option available in 92 except t-tops and 1LE.
The wheels are Centerline Retro 18x8f 18x9.5r. The seats came out of a 2002 WS6 Trans Am. Let me know what you guys think!

Re: New Wheels and Seats
Car looks good! You need to lower it or add some little bit bigger tires. What size tires do you have on there now?

Re: New Wheels and Seats
Lowering the car is next on the list. I can't decide if i want to do springs or airbags
The tires are 245/40zr18f and 275/35zr18r.

Re: New Wheels and Seats
if you want to still be able to corner, go with springs, also if you get bags make sure to reinforce the rear strut mounts

Re: New Wheels and Seats
Love the looks of the wheels, but I don't personally like anything over 17.
Lowering it will help the looks a ton though.
Seats look comfy!

Re: New Wheels and Seats
some 45 series sidewall height would make the rims looks better, besides the fact that your prone to busting a few tires with how heavy the car is, like the rims and a 1" or so drop would help

Re: New Wheels and Seats
agree with above tires need more profile.. a 255/40/17 up front with a 275-4017 out back would look much nicer and protect those beautiful wheels more....

Re: New Wheels and Seats
Sorry I haven't been responding guys. Life for me right now is very busy. I just got a married and I just got a promotion at work that has me buried in paperwork and geting home late. I will get better pics later. Since I last posted i've started installing a 2002 firebird manual console.
Re: New Wheels and Seats
correction 255 45 18 front and 275 40 18 rear would look best and if you plan on having a fast car i wouldnt put bags in because with bags comes more bracing, a tank and compressors which as we all know adds weight and weight is bad
