This is same as my thought... 19 inch is cool for the rear, as 18 inch.
Going 20 inch is out of my mind.. Wheels should have enough rubber.


I hope Pantera Dont mind of redone his photo...

With the rear lowered the wheels look as if they were OE with the car. In fact they look even better in person. With the stock EMTs, no need for the spare tire carrier. BTW, odo reads 3mph slower than actual at 80mph.

Hadi, thanks for showing what it could look like. I don't want to go that low though, especially in the front. I need to keep it speed bump friendly

Hadi,

That is the offset and size of the OEM Z06 wheels. I used an 18mm spacer for the rears. Fronts are 40mm offset. Let's see what you come up with. =Jeff= did a photoshop for me earlier this year.
