Question for you C5 Gurus
I found this pic searching the web for new wallpapers for my computer. Do you think the rear tires are stock width in this photo? Maybe it's the angle, but I didn't think the C5 tires were this this wide even in the Z06. I absolutely love this car!
Thanks!
Thanks!

JMO, but those rear tires do not look stock size to me.

Aftermarket fenders are part of the giveaway. Not even close to stock. Not a fan of the 70's jacked up look.

Personally I love this look, even more than the C7 which I love but with softer lines and the clean look of the hidden head lights. (the c6 was not an improvement in that respect, IMO). Seriously thinking about pulling the trigger in a C5 especially if I can get this look! My $.0.02

Is it jacked? The way it's angled in the picture, the whole car is angled diagonally. Could the rear tires be larger? Hard to tell from one picture.

Most C5s have a somewhat "jacked" look. It's owners that lower the car to be level that're the outliers. It also may help aero. The pictured car may have an 18/20 wheel combo, or some combination of aspect ratios the owner wanted for his prefered stance. I think the rears are backspaced a little too much, because it appears the tires stick out even with the flares. I still like it, and that Carravaggio hood is cool, and means the pictured car probably has a Maggie. When I bought my Z, it was untouched, and the rocker panels measured higher in the rear for a slight rake.
