Same setup as me, I guess maybe the 17s make it look lower. I just still have a little gap up front with no bolts.

Here is mine on stock wheels etc

It's because of your tires that's all, the aspect ratio is different. I like the staggered size look so ill never change it. There really aren't any aftermarket wheels for the vette that look like they belong so I'll always have the speedlines.
