Best looking hood on the market. I met the guys who started MCM years ago at Corvettes@Carlisle. They had a Pewter '99 or '00 FRC on display with one of their "new" hoods on it. The Pewter hood matched the rest of the car perfectly. Fit/finish was superior. It was awesome, as is yours.
MCM hood + Tiger shark front/rear facias transform a C5 into a real show piece.

still not a good angle, if i remember correctly you posted a direct back shot of your car months back
edit: found it
as you can clearly see the sidewall being from a straight back shot

I love this rear shot of Chassed's Vette, looks so tough. But, as far as my size and offset go the rears are 20x13. Originally I ordered them to fit the standard L5 flares. Which are 2 inches wider than stock BUT my Iforged came with an offset that stuck out about an inch too far. So I sold my L5's and had them make me another set 3 1/4 inches wider than stock so I could tuck them properly. I think if I ordered CCW like Chassed I would have been good to go! I know WKMCD had 19x13 CCW that fit perfect under the 2 inch L5...Chassed your car looks hawt, you know it so don't fret
I almost forgot Patches- I'd have to figure out how to measure the offset to know for sure(which I'll probably do in a month or so) but here is an inch of clearance not being used to the inside of wheels with the offset.

Im actually going to order another set of CCW's, the D110's with a gold center, or all black.
Thanks patches, the BS is 8.50 and the wheel is 18x13

Revolver ZSTI aren't you the same guy that went off when you felt Chassed was messing your thread up? Maybe you guys should just stay off each other's threads.

) so I can mount all three to decide which to go with. I'm running CCW 505's but need to go to wider rubber so I emailed John at CCW to get his advice on sizing. I'll very likely go with the TPE's and 13" CCW rears (18"/19" stagger).Smokin' rides, guys - two of my favorites on here.

Thanks, guys. The reason I asked is because I currently have two sets of flared quarters, L5's and CC's, and I have a set of TPE's on the way. I had not made up my mind which to go with so I bought one of each (I know, ) so I can mount all three to decide which to go with. I'm running CCW 505's but need to go to wider rubber so I emailed John at CCW to get his advice on sizing. I'll very likely go with the TPE's and 13" CCW rears (18"/19" stagger).

Patches it sounds like you're doing how we all would like to... Hang 'em and let them speak to your taste. You have the wheel sizing all sewn up with John so I just can't wait to see the results. I think you will be the first to be able to post pics of all the different flares test fit on your car in one thread
Again thanks for the love
Darn you guys with your perfect fitting 13 inch wide CCW's

"stance ****" hahahahah now thats a bit harsh, im not "making it out to seem ", like I said on my first post it looks like show car import with that stretch tires and it does but theres nothing wrong with that . everyone has different taste and style
its just a small criticize and small suggestions, which he does all the time with other peoples thread, and its not like I went into his thread to promote my own car and at the same time downplay his car, like he did with my thread

I daily drive my car, so I felt like this street tire is adequate for what I use the car for. Including the great snag on these nice tires which are longer produced! My car isn't built to compete with 600+ RWHP cars like the guys on 1320 lol otherwise....yeah a MT 345 would be on my car.
It's all good man, I'm over what happened with your thread. Not quite sure that you are tho...

Taking your 11 inch wide rear wheels out to 13, and taking your 11 rear tires out to 13 +.
My rear CCW wheels are 19 X 13 the offset is 44mm.
tires are 345-30-19
