Default got 18" AFS Z06 rims & tires mounted - looks great

A few months ago I was asking a bunch of questions about what would be a good combination. I have mine on the car now. I've posted some information and pictures on this webpage:

I am real happy with the combination. You can see in one of the pictures I'm also going with the C5 brake conversion. The two modifications really compliment each other.

It looks WICKED in-person.

Wow they look nice! I believe that is the setup that I recommended to you. Now you just need to lower the back a little bit. Mine looked too high also after I put on the Z06 wheels. I used longer spring bolts to lower it about 1".

I may want to do that. I did notice that it seemed to be sitting way higher. I think I'll drive it to see if it settles after being driven, then decide if I need to lower it. The taller wheels should have raised it 1/2", but they should also fill the wheelwell by another 1/2". I'd think those would offset, but it does appear to need lowered.
