Got my new wheels on the car,these Goodyears are about an inch taller than the BFGs.I wasnt too sure about the look at first but Im starting to like it.I like the GS wheels but damn,it seems that everybody and their neighbor has A-Molds or as they are commonly refereed to now as ZR1s.I had hoped I could keep the longer wheels studs and use a 10MM spacer but it wouldnt work,tire was too close the the quarter panel.Now Im going back and forth about the 91 fender panel,dont like it but dont know if Ill put it back on the car.[IMG]

Looking good Jeff! I've always liked the 90's C4 sawblades, though my favorite stock wheel now is probably the 90 ZR-1 stock rims. I'm only a LITTLE bit biased, LOL!

I agree with you on the A-molds, seems like everyone has them. They are a very nice looking rim, but just too common for my taste, so I will probably never get them for my car.

You are quite welcome, glad I was able to find you the rim and best of all there was no finders fee like others were asking

Your car looks great. I like both the fenders but I think the 95 gill panel looks better. I had a 92 that I pulled off the gills and put 95 and kept my 92 gills.

In regards to the wheels I think it looks great but if I really wanted to be picky, maybe raise front and back a smidge, or maybe at least the front wheels.

I'd like to lower mine too but I know it can be a difficult task. The rears are really easy but the fronts can be a pain especially to get it exactly how you like it.

I wasnt expecting the tire to be a touch taller,the only difference is the tire gap is closed.If I raise the front Id have to raise the rear.The only negative thing here is the car LOOKS lower but it doesnt ride any different.Sometimes if something is too low regardless of how it rides it just looks wrong.Ill look at it like this for awhile.The front spring is adjustable so raising the front is easier than the back.

Jeff, I prefer the black 5 spokes you had. Was a great contrast to an otherwise blank slate.
