I'm interested to see before and after once the 305's are installed. Should have had wider sneakers to begin with.

GM spent a ton of development on the tires. I would be remiss if they were not benched marked and burnt off the rims

I agree with you 100% ... Im not sure what Im going to do with the stock base wheels and tires ... they have 500 miles on them: But really wanted different wheels and tires. Speaking of Clay ... I tried their current C6 approach but the backs just would not fit ... in fact they are still sitting in my garage. They will be going back soon. Im sure the new ones you speak of will be the right ones.

Im a bit off subject here ... I went out and bought some "Just in case" tire things .... for a just in case moment. All of these fit easily into the rear compartment. I still don't have the hockey pucks installed yet, but will put them on soon. I just wanted some extra sense of having a flat tire solution. These parts were all available thru Amazon.

Those look very sharp. They will look very nice on a C7. I went back and forth on wheels (limited selection) and tires. My head was spinning. I decided up go with bigger tires, so of course that made it easier for me to decide on the 18/19 or 20/21. But then what size tire was a whole story in itself. So far I feel like I still made a good decision. Forgstar has three of the wheels done ... just waiting for the forth to get completed. I also bought new TPMS valves, that way I can leave my originals intact.
