Default OEM C7 wheels on my 1992 vert (pics)

Scored a minty fresh set of C7 staggered 18/19 wheels on craigslist for $400 & after chasing down the correct tires for them I finally have them mounted.
Rides & handles great with no suspension or brake clearance issues because I added 1" spacers to the front & 1.5" spacers to the rear.
Compared to the salad shooters, this looks like a completely different car & I love it.

Original wheels with Bridgestone 275/40ZR-17 on all 4 corners.

OEM C7 wheels with 285/30ZR-19 rear & 245/35ZR-18 front.
1' spacers front, 1-1/2" spacers rear.







1" spacers on the front line the edge of the tire up very nicely. No suspension or brake interference.





2" spacers at the rear line up the edge of the 285 tires perfectly with the edge of the rear wheel opening.



Purty. LOL

I think they look good but it will look better imo if you drop it down some and close that wheel gap up especially in the fronts the rears look better

I dropped the rear in my prior 35th Anni but it snubbed shock travel; can't figure out how to restore that save for finding a shorter shock.

FYI lowering the rear that much also dropped the front enough to improve that gap too.
