They’ve already have a design. It’s coming soon.

I really like those wheels. 18's? Can you speak about those too?

I would like a big wing but I am really concerned about it unsettling the factory tuned car at speed and killing myself.
This wont be a Sunday drive to car show rig. The cars limit will be pushed regularly and i need it to be stable.
Do you guys plan on making front aero to balance out the wing?

indeed. while the c8r is uber expensive it's aero is engineered which adds to that price tag considerably
you will have to tune the car in it's entirety or leave it stock. big ricer wing could give you some nice front end lift
no bueno need the aero as a package and keep the car balanced
take a look a the older zr1 and c8r how they are setup

Yes sir! 18x10/18x12 Forgeline GS1R's. The barrel touched the upper control arms when fully unloaded so we did some clearancing on the uppers but I really don't think that's necessary unless you plan on going 90mph over the peak of a hill on a back road like the dukes of hazard.

. Was it the front or back that need to be clearanced? I promise, no jumping of washed out bridges!

Haha. It was the rear upper control arm and we shaved a little on the lower near the ball joint to allow for wheel weight clearance. I forgot to mention the lower before because we shaved that before the wheels came in, we knew that was going to be a point of modification with 18's in general.

I like the look of the 18's and with some more sidewall I think it would help with the not so smooth roads here.
