Default Just another Z06....

Was out running some errands this weekend and decided to snap a couple quick pics of the Z06. The sun was a little intense so some of the pics didn't come out as I had hoped.

Nice, but looks like you need some wider tires on the back, they look really stretched.
What color are the centers? Do you have a lot of negative camber on the rear?

Gorgeous! I like your choice in colour and style of wheels

What size tires are you running in the back?

How did you lower it as well?

Thanks for the compliments, the car is lowered with no bolts up front with plastic isolater pads I made and longer rear bolts.

The tires are stock z06 widths but they are sumitomo's so they run pretty narrow, I am planning on getting wider tires soon. The wide angle lens makes the tire look alot more stretched than it actually is.

What size (and width) are those CCW's? 10.5 fronts and 11.5 rears? Running 275/35's and 295/35's for tires?
