Cornering has improved noticeably.
I really like the Nittos. They hook a lot better than the bald, stock size, all seasons I had on there.
I still destroy them in first and often in second gear (402 with .390s) Friday when I slammed second gear it hooked. My rearview mirror fell off!

They don't stick out at all. I really like them. The only downside is that any grooves in the road pull the steering wheel left or right.

I bought two pair of genuine GM, Z06 rear wheels! All 4 are 18x10.5. Front tires are Michelin 285/35/18; rears are Nitto 555R 305/35/18 extreme drag
Wheels have been powdercoated black and I bought new black center caps.
Before:
I still have the chrome ones. I like having the option to swap them out as the mood strikes me.

That chrome mood would strike me all the time!

"I don't know." is the real answer.
As for lowering it, it's already lowered a little on the stock bolts. I'm hesitant to lower it further because Louisiana roads are terrible. I'll probably give in and do it eventually though.
