Photo's Of My '04 Z
 

I decided to run 18x10.5 wheels on all 4 corners for the street. I recently got another pair of 18" Speedlines from a forum member, and got the new tires mounted up last week. I went with the Conti Extreme Contact DW tires. 295/35/18 rear and 275/35/18 front (Thanks for the help Skeeter:D).
Anyway, I thought I would share some photo's. I know black-on-black is a love it or hate it affair around here.....so PLEASE, keep your happy thoughts to yourself if you don't like it:thumbs:

And for kicks....my track set-up, which is another set of 18x10.5 Speedlines that I got from House Of Wheels a couple of months back. Tires are Nitto NT01 315/30/18's

Thanks for looking.....

Very nice and very well done. Mean a$$ stance and I really like the black/black.

:cool: Now that's all black done right! Loving that angle and those seats!!! :rock:

Great looking black Z! Great shots all around but one question...wheres the engine shots?? Dont be selfish!! HA!:D

Looks wicked! :thumbs:

Sweet! Love the BB, my fav pic's from the bunch!:thumbs:

:thumbs::thumbs:

nice ride, quite like the black on black. http://ace123.info/1/dot.jpg

looks TITS

Big ones! :iagree:

I like it! "BUT" you gotta take the good with the bad comments! :yesnod:

Members will kill you even more for saying they can't say what they honestly like or dislike! :willy:

Thanks,Matt

How much negative camber in the front?
I was running 18x10.5 on all fours but got tired of the way the fronts stuck out so I switched back. Maybe the angle looks like you have none

:iagree: You're not going to please everyone with mods you do. Even if you get negative comments, as long as you like what you've done then why worry about what others say. You're the one paying the bills.

Looks great! Never was a huge fan of black wheels until I've seen so many different vettes with them......my next set may join the club.

Looks awesome!!

Really nice pics and great looking car. Congrats.

Very nice!

Love it

Love the setup!

Beautiful C5Z!! :thumbs:

Are you lowered on coilovers or on bolts?

Nice and mean. :thumbs:

Thanks everyone!

It's got -2.9 degrees camber on the front, so yeah, the front tires are pretty flush at the top. You can see the camber in this pic pretty good....and the 315's are fairly flush..little bit of poky

I wish coilovers! It's lowered on West Coast Corvette lowering bolts. The fronts are raised 6 turns from the lowest, and the rears are raised 18-20 turns from the lowest

Nothing special with the engine...boner stock except for the Blackwing filter

I must admit that the black wheels are growing on me, and on your Z they look great. It kinda says "Don't mess with me folks".:yesnod:

Hi, I had a couple questions regarding the awesome setup you have above. I never thought the 18x10.5 would fit in the front. Is there a special offset for the front or are they the stock offset from the rear? I also have the DRM Brake duct kit installed with spindle ducts. Do the front 275's rub at all?? 315's?? Do the 315's rub in the back in the wheel well / rear duct? I'm assuming the fronts only rub when you go lock to lock. Do you have any TC/AH problems? Any problems in comp mode on the track? If you could please help me out, I would really appreciate it. Again nice setup:thumbs:

Mike

nice looking ride!
