Guys with 17" or 18" X 11"....

...how in gods name did you fit those wheels in the rear....the C5 wheels I got are way to wide...they are 18"x10.5" and I need over an inch and a half to clear the the inner wells....even if I remove the bump stop I'm still short about 3/4"...that's not even with the tires....I looks like I'm gonna have to do some wheel well bashing

I've got 17X11 ZR-1 rims. It all depends on the off-set, you may need some spacers on your application. I had to do minor work on the inside of the wheels wells. On perry's car we had to do a lot more work to make room, inlcuding removal of the bump stop.

Hey Mike, drop this guy an e-mail. His username is acarnut and he has an identical droptop like yours (colour and everything) he is running 18x10 Z06 rims at all four corners!!

Here is a thread where he posted some pics and info. I see him all the time driving around in Burnaby.

...Todd, I hate the ones with the indented rear ends...I like your's with the rounded look and the color coordinated door trim...
