VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRY NICE VETTE!!! I really like it. I'm not a fan of wings but it looks great on yours!!
Please post some more pic of your vette!! Also, what size and kind of tires are thoes? What size wheels? I have been thinking about C6 Z06 wheels for a while but I really want to get them in silver.
How did you get it that low? Coil-overs?

They will bolt up to an 88-up. Pre-88 will require spacers or a different offset.

Thanks JA! I appreciate it. They are the 18x 9.5 all around. 275's up front and the 315 30's in the rear. BFG G-force drag radials in the rear and the normal G-Force up front....and yes...I have QA1 12 way adjustable shocks w/coil overs on the front and Doug Rippie Bilstein conversions on the rear.

Thanks! I dont have any close ups of the rears...but they do fit just fine. A lot of peole will say that they dont fit, but I have been using them for over 10 years this way. (Of course at the time I had 17x9.5's)

Thanks..I appreciate it. My wheels are factory originals. I just purchased 4 18x9.5's instead of going w/the 19's in the rear mainly b/c there wasnt really a good drag radial in a 19. Not sure why you are having problems w/them fitting. There really is no reason you should be having to use that thick of a spacer. I would be real careful doing that w/stock wheel studs.

Dayum!! Look at THAT profile!!!
The C5's will NEVER look THAT good.
C6? Forgettaboutit. C6 style is worse than C5.
BTW, What brand luggage rack is that? I'd like one of those on my Vette.

Thanks VetNut! I appreciate it! As far as the "rack"...It has been a while...I bought it back in 1994! I think it was a local place here in Houston...I believe that they were called MidWest Designs. I dont think they are in business anymore.

you have four fronts. the spacing on the rears or diffrent. it is a wheel adapter not a spacer. the adapter bolts to hub then wheel bolts to adapter. i have 2.5 an 1 inch on my blazer and used the 2.5s on my c6 before i got my new wheels so they would work wih my z fenders. it had 400 hp to the wheels at the time and had no issues

Looking to go this route, but trying to figure out the specifics for the rear, 18x9.5, 18x11, 19x10, 19x11 or the monster 19x12. And then the offset question.

And I too used to run BFG 315's on 9.5" wheels until I got bored with the soft feeling and bought correct tyres to my car.
