295s on back still scrub when i take corners fast. Also waiting on my adjustable panhard bar to come in the mail. And soon i need to get tubular rear lcas since the tires seem to be hitting the stock ones :/ Does any one know if the tubulars are skinnier than the stock control arms?

Just a recommendation, don't take anymore pictures from an angle, including at 90degree(or 45 for that matter)...it's a "PITA" to look at. Other than that, they look better than what you had before, that's for sure.

He means hold the camera straight. Don't flip it when you take pics.. 
no big deal. just easier to look at lol
Great rims though.
I personally want 94-96 Impala SS 17" rims.

Re: C6 wheels pita.... but their on :)
I think they look kind of funny on there. Third gens especially Firebirds need deep dish wheels to look right. At least that's my opinion.

For the most part they don't rub, I put a 1/4 inch spacer on back with the 2 inch. That helped a lot along with the panhard bar. But it still rubs on hard turns so ill be getting 2 1/2 inch addapters soon.
