Can't wait to see it when the springs settle completely.

Then you must make a lot better cash than I did during college. Tires will rape you on 18s not to mention wheel cost! You really are a lucky sob
! Lol

Thanks, I've been very fortunate. Working almost full time and keeping my eye on the prize! The whole living at home thing helps out a ton too.

10.5s work. 2
95s work. NO BFH! Just pay attention to your offsets and you'll be fine.

looks like the rears are 56mm

why not 17's? You just ruled those out, much cheaper tires, but hey if you can afford 18's then go for it!

There's no 10.5" wide option in 17s Yeah tires are gonna be expensive...

You dont NEED 10.5 in the rear I dont care what the nutswinggers tell ya.

Pony up big guy, 18's and tires or head/cam fund...

I know I don't NEED 10.5s, I just like them because they have the deep dish. And I'm not worried about the price of tires - gotta pay to play right?

Better keep looking (says this nut-swinger) . Won't be very deep and WILL require some inner fender adjustments. Favor the lower offset number, less hammer work....and yes, everyone needs at LEAST 10.5 out back!

REAR Only

10.0" ... +38 to +54 mm .... 275, 285, 295
10.5" ... +38 to +50 mm .... 285, 295, 305, 315
11.0" ... +45 to +56 mm .... 305, 315, 335

Was going to say - the ZR1s come as 17x11s..

10.5 out back? im laying true 10.5 on the ground

I thought I already explained to you via txt that you dont need that wide of a wheel! stubborn, stubborn, stubborn!!!

oh and if you wont BFH your car at all then you need to be CRITICAL of everything when selecting wheels/tires, including height. There are really no guarantees with anything other than a stock setup, plus you didnt get the adjustable lower control arms, so you wont be able to center the rear

Exactly, I think your going to need the BFH if you go 18x10.5 I mean once you got the wheels and tires and they rub are you going to let them or going to bust out the BFH!?

^^^ not necessarily. I had 10.5 (18s) Simmons with 295s...Eibach Pro's, no issues. I do agree however that you have to do what you have to do....if it rubs, you're going to 'massage' them slightly.

^^ yeah thats more what I meant, "your going to do what you have to do..." mentality. I would hate to see you buy some nice wheels and tires and have them rub

[JoeliusZ28]

nice progress fred, looks extremely clean! so glad you decided not to do a stagger, i cant stand that look on fbodies! I say go for the wheels and tires first!
