I like wide tires in general, not a huge fan of displacing the origin of offset, however. Makes more sense to get custom wheels with a wider hub and the corresponding offset.
I prefer the 1.5" over this extreme version, but if the car does what the owner wants it to do and looks the way they want it to look, more power to em!

Looks good to me...
Its cool if you simply don't like the look, but I find it very hypocritical that any one who drives a 400-500 HP, 180+ MPH street car would ridicule someone else about what *they* think is "excessive" or "unneeded" on the other person's street car.
Glass houses...

WTF are these DB's thinking?
But again it gets back to cars in general...to each his own, just don't make me ride in it
(although that fata$$ Z06 would probably be fun even if it needed to be on a Jenny Craig Program)

Like all mods, beauty is in the eye of the 'mod-er'.
Can't say that I hate it.
Can't say that I like it.
Can say that it is different, and if that is what the mod-ers were aiming for, they have achieved that.

Nothing wrong with that; let's just be honest about our motives. We've got to admit it -- an extremely large percentage of *all* of our favorite "enhancements" would fail the "does it make a difference on the track" test (like chrome wheels, Zr1 side skirts, "jake" stickers, Carbon Fiber bits, etc). But they make us happier!

Not for me. The rear looks out of place, and the rear splash guards don't flow at all like they do on the Z06 rear quarters.
And it doesn't matter how wide of a tire you can stick under there. The widest tire I've seen in production is a 375, and they fit under the stock Z06 quarters just fine.

We all like different things so it comes down to personal taste. Personally I think it is overdone. As long as the owner likes it, that is what counts in the end.
