Default The boyds are mounted and on!

Well I was able to get to the tire shop friday afternoon to get some tires. The rims are 17X8 4" back spacing. The tires are 255 45 X17. I will be dropping the vatte about 1" all the way.

Those are killer. They look awesome on your vette. They are different which is a good thing.

Looks like you're ready to run the streets and do some "pimpin" with those bling blings on. I like em. How much did they run you and what kinda tires are you running?

Yikes what a beautiful car!



Q about the color, what code/shade is that, and is the front spoiler a 1 or 3 piece aftermarket one??

Personally I don't like anything more than 15 in. on Vette maybe 16 in. because you can't tell the difference but those wheels look pretty

Those look awesome. Do you have offset trailing arms? Did you have to use any spacers or were they pretty much just an easy bolt on. Looks good.

Thanks to all for all the positive feedback. What started out a basic paint job anded up being a frame up restro. A new hood was installed The bumper were rechromed, New interior was installed, and the rims were put on. For those who wanted to know the front spoiler is a one pc after market from vanacor corvette. The paint is a custom mix of PPG BC/CC. Once again Thanks

Looks good, but I'd consider dropping it about one inch to make up (visually) for the smaller tire diameter.
