just purchased my dream car - 91 z28 convertible

I have had some nice cars in my day, 91 corvette zr1, 66 chevy 2 pro street, 55 chevy stepside hot rod, grand nationals,lots and lots of vettes, etc but have always been in awe when i see nice clean 80's early 90s camaro. hands down they have the sexiest street appeal. My buddy had a real rough and butchered $4500 camaro convertible parked beside my 91 zr1 vette one day and I was jealous. I thought his car looked better. Sooooo, I finally came across a good deal on a nice clean 91 z28 convertible with the 305 and 5 speed which is pretty rare, 1 of only 450 i believe, and I jumped on it. Black on tan leather, 60000 original miles, shes definitely a keeper car. Im so glad to be a camaro owner now!

I just ordered brand new 18x8 iroc replicas and wondering what tire size i should go with. the car has been lowered by previous owner. im sure this has been asked many times sorry lol.

I would run a 245/40r18 on all four with a x8 wheel. I like the looks of you car man. Congrats on getting your convertible.

Nice ride! I'm kind of envious you got a 5 spd vert! But anyway, welcome to the Vert club dude.
