Wheels and TiresNeed help with wheels or tires? Got fitment issues? Have questions about tire performance and handling? Ask all of those questions here!
Maybe I am late to the game, but i was not able to find pictures of any third gens with these wheels so I did it. Finished up all my front end mods, along with the big brake upgrade, and top it off with 17" C7 Z06 wheels in gunmetal! Let me know what you all think!
They look really really good and really clean from these angles, would you mind taking some more pictures from further away and front the rear and stuff?
I'll bite! What mods and or spacers were required for the fit?
I used 2" in front on top of the big brake upgrade which is more like 2.25" and 1.5" in the back and they fit perfect. Heres a picture from a little further back that i had on my phone

I plan on messing with the rear a little bit. Cut a coil or something. I dont want to go too extreme because i have a hard enough time with the roads as it is here in wonderful ol Michigan
The rims and brakes look great. Those brakes are what I have in mind for my 92. How do they feel compared to what you had?
They could throw you through the windshield, no joke.
I met Scott that runs bigbrakeupgrade, he lives in Michigan. Really cool guy I would recommend these to everyone. Mine are C5 rotors with C6 calipers. He milled the "Corvette" off, re powder coated, and put a Camaro decal on
How much in total did the big brake upgrade cost you, and were they rather easy to install?
Scott worked with me, so I ended up paying $1100 and meeting him to cut shipping out.
They are easy enough to install. Support your A-Arms for the spring reaction. Remove the old spindle (Nut on the lower ball joint and 2 studs through the strut) and install the new. With the brake system tear down and build up included id say about an hour per side.
I was replacing my A-Arms, Springs, Struts, etc up from anyway so it made sense for me while I had it all apart.
Not bad just need to lower you just replace springsband,shocks ?
Thanks!
I did factory springs, Koni shocks, UMI A-Arms, UMI spherical bearings, UMI Strut tower brace, UMI SFC, front and rear sway bars, all the bushings, all steering components, big brake upgrade. Im sure im missing some stuff.
Now going to lower it, I could hardly pull into my driveway before I replaced the suspension components. It has settled substantially especially since I put a sub box in the back.
