Hey all, since my old pizza cutter wheels were going out of style and the tires were dryrotted and bald i decided to get something new.
They have a brand new set of Michelen Pilot Sport2's. And before you all make the 4x4 jokes, as soon as it get it running the stance will get fixed.
I just had to share, but it think its a vast improvement.

It's the end of an era. I thought you were going to rock those 14s forever!
Nice improvement dude. _________________

Thanks Skyler, i'm pretty happy with how it looks.
Schultz,
The biggest fire is over 30,000 acres and has destroyed over 500 homes! Thank God its about 20 miles south of me so i'm not in any immediate danger, but there are smaller ones all over. But then again thats what happens when you have over 80 days of 100* plus weather and not a drop of rain in over 3 months!
Thanks Ian, the final decision was when i found you can't get those tires for 14" rims anymore! The tire places just laugh at you. plus a good buddy of mine just upgraded his vert to a set of C6's like yours and wanted to get rid of his iroc's.

Yeah I think they will look complete once the car is running and I get it lowered. What do you guys think, 1.5"? 2"? All I know is there is about 4 in of fender gap right now.

| Has it been driven since you changed the tires? If not it will drop significantly when it is allowed to roll around and settle. |

I vote 2" drop. As long as your tires dont rub. You dont want to start screwin up those nice new tires. _________________ 88 Camaro IrocZ Convertible 5.0 TPI...
