what wheel offset did you use up front, c6 or z06? front tire size?
I have the z06 offset on a 255/40. It's a little bigger than I anticipated, but once i lowered the car it all seemed to come together nicely.

Wow, thank you! that is very nice of you to offer.

I was concerned that the apartment manager would have a problem with it, but when she drove by on her golf cart she asked me if I needed help haha Caught me off guard.

Looks good.

You went from a NNBS Silvy to an 05? Guess you had a terrible itch.
