Thank you for your reply DNAST1. Sorry for my late response. My wheels are still 2 months out, assuming a standard 3 month lead time. I spoke to Chet about this recently and even he said best to wait if I want the exact gap I'm looking to achieve, but probably not necessary. With that said, I'm scheduled to bring my car in next Friday to get it lowered to the max (2") using Paragon Performance lowering kit (rear struts and front lowering collars) along with Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs and Eibach sway bars. The springs would have settled by the time my wheels are installed and will adjust if needed to get that perfect gap.

My 20x10 fronts will be wearing Michelin Sport Pilot 4s 295/25/20 and in the rears will be 21x13 wearing 345/25/21. I don't have them on the car yet, but will post the ride feel once they're on. I suspect they will feel a bit stiffer than stock as the tire walls have less cushion/flex, BUT I bought my C8 with intentions of making it look and feel like a true sports car, not a sedan. I even have the competition seats, which are firmer and narrower than the regular GT seats, but they hug me so well and I love them. I took a gamble optioning the seat, because i've never sat in one. I'm 5'9" and 150 lbs., so no issues fitting in the seat. Back to the ride topic. I am lowering my car 2" (non Magride and Non Z51), so this will affect the ride as well. Once all of these mods are done, I will post the results.

I really like those! Can you post some side pics and close up of the wheels? Hope they're monoblock and not 2-pc wheels. I've been looking for this type of design for awhile. Guess I'll have to talk to Chet about them. Do you have a name for those yet or does Chet come up with that?

Btw, what finished did you go with on those? Can't tell if it's Black Ghost Glazed Polished or something similar to that.

Mine will be wearing 295/25/20 and 345/25/21 and Chet said I should be fine with no rubbing, but I'm also dropping my C8 2". I'll post once wheels come in estimated around beginning of July.

Are you doing different rims on each side of the car?

One pair is for the front and the other for the rear. The top pair is for the rear. At least, that is how they are shown on Aerolarri website, Terra Launch wheels.

No...for these wheels, the front being smaller/thinner doesn't require as much structure as the larger/wider rear, so they are designed such that the two front wheels in the picture are the front wheels and the two rear are the back wheels. Same wheels, just with a thin "bar" in the middle of those sections. Looks good on the Aerolarri site and pics of vehicles I saw. I hope it does on mine as well.

Hey all...still no great pics captured, but wanted to share the latest with my wheels installed. The pictures don't do it justice. With the natural 2-tone interior and the wheels and a light tint...it all just fits together so nicely.

Thanks...I really like how it came together. And the brushed finish pops enough, but isn't overbearing. Thanks again!

My Aerolarri wheels showed up today and I wasted no time having them wrapped with new rubber and mounted. Offset is perfect for a flush mount. The XL splash guards fit perfectly. I think OEM regular splash guards would be way too small to be effective. These are the Thresher style in polished brass mist. The wife says it looks like a pimpmobile. Thanks https://www.facebook.com/groups/352056965465211/user/701430564/?__cft__[0, I'm impressed with the quality and fit.

Default Lowered perfectly, nearly zero gap

I lowered



AEROLARRI fronts 20x10 with 295/25/20. No rubbing I know of or have heard. Lowered with Eibach Sportline springs with Paragon Performance lowering collar and 3/8” riser shim. I have front lift.

AEROLARRI rears 21x13 with 345/25/21. No rubbing. Lowered with Eibach Sportline springs and added Z51 rear struts, since I have the base model non-Z51.

Lowered to the max on original silver wheels. Once I put AEROLARRI on had to raise the car a bit for that perfect stance .
