Default Mo' Mods - Mo' Mods - Mo' Mods w/ pics

The 315's I was running were pretty useless on my street car. They would spin through 3rd gear. I tried a set of ET Street II's and they stuck very well but killed the handling. I figured I'd just put more rubber on the back so I installed Lewis Five rear quarters and 345x30x19's on the back. CCW SP500's - 18x10.5 and 19x13.

Just finished today and got a few pics.

Great looking vette.

Looks awsome !! I'm wanting to know how much prep was needed ?? I'm not asking about paint prep but fitment prep ?? I should have my L5's by late this month and my question is, if I took them straight to the paint shop and had them shoot them, then brought them home and bolted them on would I be sorry ??
