NastyTA, 8 photo's sent in a email, thank you again for this, peace, Victor
The front are 17x8.5 with 255/45/17's and the rear are 18x12.5's with 345/35/18's. The rear required a small amount of bfh mod but not nearly as much as one would think. I am using ARP studs and a 5/16th inch spacer. I still have to adjust the aphr as the pass. side is 1/2" out more than the d/side. Bumpstops are not trimmed, and once the rear is centered, I will remove the spacers, and use a stock GM 1/8" spacer, and it will be plenty. Car is stock ride hight btw. Any thoughts guys...lol, yes, a tad overkill, but these were $5200 rims and tires, I got with 0 ZERO mile on them, for $1000 and $240 shipping. Thanks Jerid!!!!! The wheels aren't even polished yet by me, and were sitting in a basement for 3 years. You cant make this **** up...lol.

Thanks, the exhaust was made by Myself and Denny, the owner of Mufflex Performance Exhaust in NJ. Alot of 304 stainless and tig welding...lol. I didn't grind a thing. I am going to put on the 3mm 1/8" stock GM spacers tomorrow when I center the rear. This will tuck them in another 5mm or 1/4". Those are viper size tires, yes.
In all honesty, the best size would be a 305 or 315/35. I got a set off ebay Toyo Proxy road race/autocross tires with 70% left on them for $130 shipped. I will mount those up I think, and they will serve as a budget drag radial for now. The Toyo's are 305/35's. They should be even with the wheelwells. My car is stock springs, and has about 5000 miles on it. Sunday driver, and a few trips to the track.

Great wheels. I was wondering how they would look on a Camaro, but I wasn't brave enough to spend the $$$. I'm glad you are, 'cause they look wicked awesome! Nice choice, and I think you're probably the only one with those wheels on an Fbody. At least that I've seen you are.
