What size are the wheels and tires? I really like the way that setup fills out the wheel wells.

Looks great!

The hood is nice - is that a black centennial hood?

What size tires on the front?

Thanks for the positive comments. When I was considering these wheels I couldn't find any combinations like I got. Hope this gives people an idea of how this set-up looks. I tried to take many photos at different angles to give people a good idea of how it looks. If there's another angle or photo you'd like let me know.

Thanks. I've been thinking about doing better photos but haven't really cared to put out the money on camera accessories.

Brakes are next, it never ends. I'm going to do a two piece rotor that has the hats anodized.

Wheels:
Front: 18" x 10"
Rear: 19" x 11"

Tires: Toyo R888's
Front: 265/35/18
Rear: 305/30/19

The fronts were hard to get. I had to call Toyo and have them ship two fronts to CCW. All tire shops I and CCW contacted said the 265's were discontinued, but that was not true.

Thanks. No, it's not the centennial black paint. It's off a 2013 black ZO6. It's the hood that was used on the 427's and it was also an option for ZO6's.
