I have a buddy that did even worse on his honda hatch. He streched the tires AND put them at like 10 degrees camber to clear the fenders. So he got wider rims, but only rides on the inside couple inches of the tire. I can slide a piece of paper nearly halfway under his tires. Definetly not a performance upgrade. I rib him here and there about it, but all in good fun. He enjoys his car, all that matters

295 on a 12" wheel isn't that bad guys... It's not like he is running a 255 and putting a lot of camber on it....
I would probably lower the rear another half inch but other than that it looks great!

Chassed -- I was just speaking to Dan at CCW about a similar set up and set of wheels but he mentioned back spacing "concerns" from the fist set (MY Z06) and possible "rubbing" on the leaf spring. Have you had any of these issues? Just wondering if you're on coilovers or stock spring and lowering bolts? TIA

^^^youd be surprised how many people have been hating on the look I've got going.
I know a lot of people have Classics, but I wanted mine to stand out a bit.
Thanks for the comments :-)
