need pics plz

**LeadFarmer** · 05-19-2011, 10:53 PM

I can't decide whether to get black 17in c5z06s all around, or 18s in the back and 17s in the front. I tried googling pics but I can't find any staggered. anyone got any?

**98maro** · 05-19-2011, 11:31 PM

17s front 18s back... looks great.. i have them on mine..

**98maro** · 05-19-2011, 11:38 PM

**LeadFarmer** · 05-19-2011, 11:59 PM

I like, is that lowered?

**98maro** · 05-20-2011, 12:15 AM

no,, still on stock height,, i got the springs i just havent put them on yet
is yours lowered?

**2001camaroSS** · 05-20-2011, 03:32 AM

it will look even better lowered

Make sure you look into the cost of 18" tires over 17s. it's a big jump

I have, but I'll fork over the extra $$$ if I really like the look. I can get 295/35/18 Nt05s for $200 each, so the price jump isn't insane.

anymore pics?

I think for a staggered look you have to have to get the tires sizes right, cause then the front tire will look tiny to the back

huge key right here. this is the reason I dont like the staggered look. most dont get it right

There are tire size calculators online you can use to find the correct diameter, there is also a sticky on the site with a chart showing tires that match the factory tire height

these cars look pretty sweet

Check out my pics I have in the folders in my profile. I have staggered 17/18 combo in black. Yeah the price of 18s over 17s is pretty steep but imo its worth it. I get compliments all the time for mine.

thanks, that's exactly what I needed to see, I'll pick me up some 18/17s at the end of the month. Beautiful car BTW. What are the specs on the rear/front tires your running?

I'm willing to guess a 255-45 tire in the front and a 285/295-35 tire in the back will give me a nice balanced look all around, am I right?

if it were me, i'd run a 255/40/17 F and 295/35/18 R

I would go 18's all around. I still think the same size diameter wheel looks best. I would do staggered widths instead.

that would definitely be my first choice as well but if not i'd do what i posted above.

Thanks bro! I’m running 275/40/17 in front and 305/35/18 in the rear. My wheel sizes are 17x9.5 and 18x10.5. If you get the same size wheels I wouldn’t recommend going any smaller than a 265 in front and a 295 in the rear unless you like that "stretched" look. To me when you stretch the tires it make em look less meaty and a lil ricey. i like the look of some meaty tires, it just looks more muscle car imo.

See, those sizes would create that small tire effect and make the wheels look off.

For a staggered wheel to look good it kinda has to be unnoticeable at first till you take a second look and look at actual tire sizes, IMO

shit i forgot these would be 17x9.5. I was thinking 17x8.5. Definitely go with the 275s up front and at least a 295 in the rear
