Mr. Luos

A little.
But not after installing the LCA's and the relocation brackets.

The only thing that hits now is the bump stop when the rear is hanging and the body is on stands.

B4 you added the LCA and relocation brackets did it rub easily or did you have to get on it to make it rub?

Mr. Luos

Seemed like it was only when I was on it.

But I am not 100% about that.

So if I am running OEM Zo6 18x10.5 with a 295-35 and I had to beat my inner wells, and I have the Eibach Sportline, BMR Re-location, Hotchkis LCA's I should not rub with the same combo you have.....

But every car is different.
Ditching the 18's?

frist off, OEM's are retarded expensive and that 10.5 is gonna be wierd to work with. I suggest you go with OE replicas for t/a's @ 9" especially since you're lowering it. I think it'll all "fit" nicer.

I tell ya, everytime I contemplate a new ZO6 with my wife... I stumble upon Trans Am's such as these. Puts everything back into perspective.

Very Nice! ;)

They definitely make them in 18's. :D

lol, My personal opinion on 18s is once u go from a 17 to an 18 the look becomes less sport and more "bling"(different for every car of corse). Besides I couldn't image riding on a 315/XX/18 tire, i don't think you would ever know if u had a flat or not!

I felt that way too once, but now.... eighteen inches has honestly become the limit for me (won't even consider nineteen inches). I like the look of eighteen inch TT2's on our cars, as they fill it up rather nicely. Of course, I'd never make it a point of drag racing w/them though. ;)

This is true def not a drag rim. One thing that is making me get the 17s is the look of them when the car is dropped the right height, it looks like that's how the car was meant to look from the factory..which is what i always go for with any mod...something you know didn't come from the factory, but looks like it could have...something really clean fitting.

Mr. Luos

I like the little bit of extra sidewall.

These wheels are heavier though. Probably won't make a noticeable difference, but might lose a tenth.
I can't wait to have some drag wheels on her for the track.

And thanks for the compliments on the car!!!! Lots of my hard work went into it, nice to see it looks good enough to get some love. :yup:

When did they start making tt2s in 18's? When I got mine last year all I saw was 17's except for someone on here that had them custom made 18's

Many of they're adds can be found in "Super Chevy", and/or "Chevy High Performance" magazines. Here is some additional information about the company;

Muscle Car USA
12395 Mills Avenue Suite 10
Chino, California 91710
Tech 909-627-0101
Toll Free 877-388-0101

Advertisement covers the entire 27th page (not just some small space in the back of the magazine), so I would imagine that their very credible. They have a huge selection to choose from, w/many versions available in the same sizes.
