Default ccw and C5-R tires

I got my CCW classics today along with 5 sets of C5-R tires.
My shocks also came in along with a lot of other parts.
That is not the stance that the car will have.It will sit much lower.

keep the car that high, so you can do some sweet dukes of hazard style jumps!

That looks killer dude!!! I cant wait to see it finished!

I was debating putting the "skull" on my C4 since the flags in it are from a C6, but seeing that you have them I think I will go with it too! I see it as being the general Corvette Racing symbol for all raced Corvettes.

They are 18x12. I don't know the offsets. Call CCW, they have done a bunch of these for C4s.

Can you post a few pics of your car?
Check out the track layout. Go to track facts.

Nicely done.The car looks great. I am going to use your hose duct onto the driver set up. Dose the top of your helmet hit the top of the roll cage
when you are strapped in the car?

When strapped into the car, my head will touch the cage on my left if I lean to the left a few inches. Between that and the net on my right, my head doesn't have much room to move. It is all comfortable and doesn't cause any interference when driving. The cage is tight in about every Corvette race car that I have ever sat in. I have a Cobra seat with Hardbar Rails and it is set as low as it can go. I also reinforced the floor where the seat bolts up.
