Got the new wheels on the car

I got the new wheels I got them staggered in the back. The front wheels are 215/45ZR18 the back wheels are 245/40ZR18 let me know what you guys think.

They look very nice! I like how they set in a little bit and are a nice change from the 5 spoke style most people are going with.

I paid $955 I stayed with two of my stock tires I just bought the back tires. Oh and I had to pay $60 to get them drilled to fit my car.

They don’t rub I just bought that size in the back because the wheels where staggered. All I did was just moved the break line back a little. Everything else was good.

i never saw the point in going with bigger tires on the back of a fwd car. also, with the amount they're sticking out i would think that it will kick all sorts of crap onto the side of your car and ruin the finish.

i like the rims though, good choice.

I was looking into something different I didn’t want something every one had. I do get some of the tire dressing on my fender but that’s koo nothing a nice car wash and some wax cant fix.Plus I want that American Chevy look my car is a Chevy.

They look pretty decent. I'm not a fan of the staggered on a FWD but the wheels look good.

it's not a chevy look, it's a rear wheel drive look. fwd race cars have bigger wheels in the front. to each his own though. if you like it it doesn;'t matter what we think. that's the great thing about modifying your car, can do what ever you want!

That’s the stage 3 clutch from Clutch Masters. I am looking into the stage 3 kit from GM but the whole thing about it not being smog legal; living in California the cops are hot about that. The stage 3 clutch Man that clutch is awesome
