Default New Camera, New Pics
Just picked up a used Nikon d40 with some goodies... trying to make sense of all the tech stuff and get some updated pictures of the cars!

Hope you like!

They are the same style and size as OEM c6z06 wheels / tires, but the offsets are different on the front to better fit the c5z. The rears are the oem offsets.

Didn't have a chance to sort through my dozens of pics to find the 2-3 good ones.

Glad you're liking the D40.

Thanks!

The rears rub the INSIDE on very aggressive driveways under full suspension compression. I get no rubbing of any sort under normal conditions. These Generals are a little bit smaller of a 325 than the OEM tires I was running.
