very very nice.
can you give us any specifics on those rear tires / wheels ?
315's but what size rims? rim offset ? any interfence issues ?
what size tires / rims in the front ?
how about the lowering ? front rear ? did you lower the front and rear ? any issues ?
inquiring minds want to know.

I know you have put a lot of work into your car this past year and I'd say it was worth it in the end. The car just looks great and I don't know what else you could do to make look any better.

Thanks for the kind comments.....
The wheels are 17" ZR1 chrome replicas. The front are 56mm offset with 275. The rear are 17" 36mm offset with 315. I chose Nitto as the tire. The front was lowered using the kit ( toke out the front spring and shaved off the rubber bumpers and glued in the v shaped shorter bumpers), the back was lowered using the longer bolts. I will add that it toke at least 1 week for the front to settle in to its current height. I also changed out the stock shocks with KYB so not sure if that added or subtracted to the height. As for rubbing issues, so far so good, I'm able to be aggressive (not a track car) and no issues.

I put in the Magnaflows #15623 rear mufflers and cut out the resonator and installed an X pipe (GM performance parts). I left the cats in because from what I have read here on the forum, taking them out adds no performance gain. Sounds nice and I believe the look is good. Now that the car is stored for the winter (central WI) I will now begin filling my garage with my next set of parts (roller rockers, LT4 springs, and possible a new cam if I can figure out which set-up works the best.
