Yeah I agree. I think it would look a lot better. But she does look good though.

You are quite welcome sir. Just don't want you to have an issue like I did, had to replace a brand new tire because it got cut in a spot that couldn't be repaired.

Hey if you want to try that, I have a set of black taillight bezels I gave to a friend of mine for his ZL1 but decided to not use them and is gonna give them back to me, don't remember if they are gloss or matte, but if you want them I can send them to you when I get them back.

Yea they are fatties for sure, I run them. But if you want FATTER, the Michelins are .25 wider in the tread width, but more expensive. Conti's are 11.2 tread width and the MPSS is 11.5 tread width, but more expensive, or you can do what I did forawhile and run a 335 out back with a width of 12.4 and section width of 13.5 which is about an inch wider than the 315's..

Yes, with a+43 offset.

Hey there InFiD3Vil, not sure if you saw the posts above, but did you want to try what I mentioned in post# 22 above? If you do I can send you the bezels for free, that way you won't need to spend any money if you don't like them, just send them back to me. I have the new chrome OEM's back on my Camaro.

I went with the Continental Extreme Contact Sport 315/35/20 in the rear (Couldn't get the Indy 500 in 305's, backordered). Moved my Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 275/40/20's up front for now. I plan on getting a set of Conti's for the front too...but they are expensive lol.

Also, since I am lowered, I had to have the tire shop zip tie my e-brake cables back on both sides as it was definitely rubbing on the barrel of the cable when he put it on the ground.

So happy with this setup. Sorry for the crappy pics, its been raining all day. Anyhow, here ya go! (Yes my passenger fender is missing a stripe. That's next lol)

*My Tire recommendation post got moved to the C5 dungeon. Hopefully this can stay a few days before it gets moved, otherwise nobody will see it.

Nice! I have a similiar set to yours. My polished set was also a little scratched. It seems the previous owner couldnt drive and hit almost every curb..! mine are MRR 20x10 ff 20x11 rears.

Thanks for the offer man! I am not sure what I am doing yet, mainly because I have to figure out the GFX exhaust bezels and tips. I don't want to leave them polished as it would look wrong with black tail bezels imo. Not sure what the best solution is for those. I figured I could do a trial run in a plastidip just to see if I like the look, but I would be afraid of it melting and making a mess. I have the square-ish MBRP tips. Would black bezels with black tips be too much? I don't see how I could leave any of it polished if I go black on anything/everything else. If I do all that I am likely going to replace my trunk SS emblem with the black/red version.

If you plan to hold them a bit I will let you know soon if that's cool. I may just go for it and paint them all - taillight bezels, tips, exhaust bezels. Uhhhg, decisions...
