This right here makes me want to wrap my roof gloss black ASAP! Your car pulls off the look awesome , yet others not quite as well though still looks good.
For those of you that have purposely pushed your wheels/tires out, how did you dial-in the final adjustments? Are you using spacers/adapters or changing your camber? Or some combination.
I started a new thread asking for suggestions with my current stance. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ts-inside.html
I just don't think mine pops like some of the others on here; maybe because of the sunken in front wheels? Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

I am admittedly a little high for a perfect stance IMHO, but if I wanna drive the thing, it needs an inch 'er two.
I rather like to think of it as...athletic...yeah
Erik, you're car looks great! Next time you buy tires go up one profile size, you will be glad you did for multiple reasons. you will get a half inch more ground clearance and a half inch less gap for free. You will also get a more compliant ride and better traction. Your speedometer will be off, but that can be fixed with a tuner. I'm running 275/35/19 and 305/35/19, they are both 1 inch taller than stock in overall diameter.

That's exactly what I did when I went with my 19's and 20's. 35 series up front , 30 in the rear. Most people go with 30 FR, 25R and they are driving on rubberbands. Makes the ride just as comfortable as stock with coilovers. Also fills the wheel well better without slamming the suspension
Only slight downside I feel a slight loss of acceleration after a red light. Maybe Ill get some gears to offset that
Honestly, I always say to each their own. I've enjoyed the looks of my C5 for 13 years now and never had a problem with how she looks or with others who do lower their cars. Now I'm at the point where I see my wife's Camaro SS and my SS sedan and I like how the wheels fill in the space better. Heck even the C6 and C7 fill in the wheel wells better.. so I'll go with 18/19s and decide if I need to lower her. If I do lower her it will be with the stock bolts so she won't be that much lower to worry about my driveway or the roads around here.
That's what I have 18 19 lowered on stock. Its a bit high but I also live in the mountains and my garage to driveway has a 2 inch solid wall?? Not sure why... It looks pretty great still

Looks great! Would you mind sharing your specs?
Widths, offsets, tires and tire sizes

I can see where the 20's could hamper your acceleration, I went with the shortest rim I could get away with and clear my brakes. The bigger the wheel the greater the moment of inertia because you are moving the weight away from the center as well as adding weight to the overall wheel/tire set.
Yep I got bored this Father's Day weekend an decided to give it a shot, I'm glad I did too it looks awesome!
Next time you're bored try blacking out the halo, I was on the fence about that for the longest, but now that I've done it I really like it. Mine is a wrap so I can take it off if I change my mind.
