Traction is much better than before. I dyno'd 525.8 RWHP running on stock tires. It was like driving on ice in first, second, and third. Now it chirps third. The ride is also much better. I would buy them again given the chance.

I actually had someone here in Houston do them. I didn't feel comfortable taking a jigsaw to my car. It's kind of like surgery, wake me up after it's all over.

Can you post or email me pics of the inside of your hatch after the tubs? I've been debating on buying another set of wheels with bigger tires in back. I like how your car looks but cutting up my car I'm not sure if I could go through with that.
I believe these are 345's and no tubbing is necessary. At least thats what CCW told me. This is also a forum members ride.

It took about a week to get the car back. Cost was around $1000.

If i got a tire/rim combo like yours would i have to remove my Z06 rear functional brake ducts? and if so does any company make a custom one, i just like the fact that they are functional.

Those are beautiful tires!!!! Cool wheels too!

Keep us posted on the number of miles they last. Sine I'm putting 10,000/year on my C5, kinda hard to got with the rosso. Can't afford to swap tires too often.

And post more pics after she's lowered.
