Showing off new wheels

Finally got some new wheels on a few weeks back and was able to get my drag radials mounted. Figured I'd share some pics, couldn't find anything similair when I was looking for pics to get an idea what it might look like really. Not the usual big and wide for cornering like many have. More light and good for cruising and drag.

front 15x6 3.375 205/60/r15
rear 15x7 3.375 235/60/r15

Rims look great. I would get more meat on them to fill out the wheel wells. Nice looking vette.

Did you have to use any spacers?

I agree 100%. I really like the convo pros, think they give a nice drag/muscle look. Was considering them myself. BUT, the tires are just WAY too small. Just doesn't look proportionate to the car and leaves to much open well.

...Looking at it again, the front COULD work (with some drop) if you were going for a real tough rake look. But would have to be paired to something nice and full out back.

Just my opinion! Car looks good though.

No spacers.

NP I know many use big tires, I just went with what I needed for traction and wanted to save weight on the front. The rears just chirp at launch off idle, so I know a bigger tire would be a waste. I don't like skinnys on vettes, so I went with a bit wider and shorter. The front have bout the same rolling resistance/weight as a skinny, but less inertia and should handle Michigan pot holes better.
