never mind the offset there will probably not allow that. It looks like the rims were designed that way so he could add flares. Once they are done it will look like a wide body. Porsche 928S4 were famous for making wide body racing cars...

Notice I did not say what it looks like now.

I am only suggesting that maybe after the flares are put on it will look good. Of course the only car I like the large wheel wells on are the Porsche, but I will hold judgement until I see the finish product...

ACI is making C5 fender flares similar to the ones found on the C6 Z06. I have pics of it at work and it looks awesome. If the guy has some nice flares like the ACI fender flares put in, its gonna look hot. The C5-R fender flares are really nice too. There are other fender flares from some european companies that look like crap so he's gotta have good taste to make it look good.

If you took a second to pull your head out of your a$$, perhaps you'd see that he is building a custom wide body rear for the car. He waited two months for Iforged to build the wheels, and now that he has them, he's going to make customer rear quarter panels to cover them. They will blend into the rocker panels and the rear facia, which will also be widened. He has no intention of driving the car the way it currently sits. The pics were posted to show the offset of the wheels, and to drum up excitement about his upcoming body work.

I guess I shouldn't expect a guy who lists hood seals and exhaust plates as "mods" to understand...

Oh....wow..thats emotionally deep!!!! Good Luck drumming up excitement!!!!!!! I still think it looks like crap....and the excitement for his FENDER FLARES....is causing heat in my pants!!!!!!!!maybe when he makes those CUSTOM rocker panels, I will experience an EXPLOSION of Sheer proportions to drive me wild and cause me to go BLIND and then, and only then, could I possibly appreciate your comments , or those rims!!!!
Since you LACK ANY SENSE OF HUMOR......I will continue to list my Hood Seal and Exhaust plate.....not SEALS nor PLATES....as a MOD.
And that is not my head up my ****!!!!! But if you read the other posts you would know that!!!! But I am sure you can read S L O W E R!!!

Oh yeah.....in case you CANT read between the lines.........GO F**K YOURSELF!!!!!

I'll be at Carlisle on Saturday. Why don't you tell me to f**k myself to my face there? I'm sure you're a tough guy typing on the internet. Let's see if you can back up the tough talk in person.

The irony of this being, you get all defensive when I point out your own ignorance, yet you think nothing of insulting another memeber of this forum, and the huge project he's taking on. There are very few people on this forum who truly "mod" their cars. Glenn is one of them. The least you could do is withold judgement until the mod is complete. But then again, I shouldn't expect class where there isn't any... New Yorkers..

Hey Steve,

Things get very wacky over here. An FJB thread isn't exactly the place to come if you have a thin skin and no sense of humor.

Mr Serious cross-posted back to this thread:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...6&postcount=55

If the only thing going on in the CorvetteForum was C5 General, I would never come back.
