19x10 19x13 I have coilovers but lots of mods to make them fit and get the stance I wanted.

Hope this gives ppl new ideals about the C4. When I was considering a newer DD car and looked at a few c5's, it would have cost 15-20 to buy a one. Why not spend that kinda money on some nice parts and have a ride that no one else has. My biggest enjoyment other than driving/building it has been the C4 haters saying its sick, badass and insane. when sitting around other vettes and the C4 is talked about more than others....That's a statement!!!

welcome aboard the sweet c4 train Its generally how ive felt for the last 10 years lol. The look of c5/6 guys faces when my car is around is priceless.

Your car looks kick __ !! I have to ask.. I looked into the gs flairs but never did it because I failed to follow up on the flare extensions on the lower bumper.. are they available anywhere? If they are Im gonna widen my 3 pc rears an inch and fit a bigger tire ! I would never do just the gs flares it looks so un-finished just hanging off the quarter.

It's like a steel blue/black version of my buddies car I modded
