It's dropped on factory bolts. I just had it done Saturday and haven't drove it much, so it should settle a little more this week.

Just in case anyone is wondering it's all the way down in the front and has 2 threads showing in the back.

I have the exact same wheels that Miguel had. Comp Grey-18x9.5 up front and 19x11 in the rear.

I honestly never thought that the C6Z rims would look that good on a C5 Z06. I'm impressed! Great looking rims!!

What tires are you running on those wheels? And are you having rubbing issues with the rear break ducts?

Continental ContiSportContact 3's in 255/35/18 and 305/30/19.

I did have to take the rear brake ducts off. They rubbed just a bit, but I've seen other cars that are running 315's that clear without a problem. I don't know if the Conti's run wide or Michelin's run narrow.

There was no way to adjust them?

Can you post additional pictures of close ups as well as rear and front angles so I can see the over hang of the rims, tires and wheel wells.

Thank You

No overhang at all. The wheels/tires sit flush. The front is the same width as stock, and the rear only went up a 1/2". I'll take some pics when I can, but it might be a few days.

265's were on a backorder with both Continental and Michelin. I couldn't take looking at the wheels and not having them on my car anymore so I went with the 255's.

Make sure you post some pics. Where did you find the 265's?

The place that put the tires on did chrome valvestems without asking me. They look ok, but I think I would have rather had black. I have black lugs as well.

I got my tires from Tire Rack too.
