New GS in Colorado
Hey all,
I'm new to the forum but not new to Chevy. Recently traded in my '15 Camaro 2SS that I had fun modding with Kooks headers w/ hi-flo cats, h-pipe, Corsa exhaust, K&N intake, dyno tune, MRR Wheels and Eagle F1 tires, painted brake calipers and lots of cosmetic mods. You know, just the bolt on stuff that I could do myself, except for the tune. Well I recently had an opportunity to step up to the Vette and although it was hard because I had put a lot of work into the Camaro, I made the leap. Really glad I did. Amazing what lower, lighter, wider, mag ride, wider tires etc can do! Having a blast so far even though it's barely broken in with just over 1k miles. Still can't track it yet though. If anyone's wondering what my profile pic is, those are my winter tires setting behind the car. Same size as the stock tires but man they look huge when you can actually see the whole tire. Anyway, hope to get some good advice soon!

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your sharp C7!
You are correct - the tires look huge when there is no car body to hide them!
