Pulled the trigger for the B4C....

Well I hated the wheels that where on it and after tring to find a set of factory 16s for a decent price , only to be lead to houston last weekend on a wild goose chase and a weird *** twilight zone type of trip i just broke down and bought the wheels I wanted to begin with and turned out discount tire was having a sale also so I got the BFG tires at a good price so i did it. 17x9 with 275/40/17s all around.

I kind of prefer a smaller dish in the front with that style wheel "staggered" is what its called, but those look great on your car.

Nice choice indeed.

Beautiful car also.

I despise big and little stance on cars, I like all my **** to be square, so can properly rotate my tires.

Re: Pulled the trigger for the B4C....

Info on the wheels? I have a 4th gen rear and originally bought a set of vette wheels. I really didn't want 18s but I got a nice deal on them. Anyways these look pretty good and my car is the same color.

your car looks sharp!
some guys like the big and little...LIKE a nice 325 50 15 on the back all tucked under for street driving..with a 4.5x26x15 on the front
but then most of the time its on cars that dont see a lot of street time..
test fit..they don't touch..close..some trimming of parts..as needed..
