  • New here, my car scrapes the ground, but it has wheel gap.

    ....and the wheels are almost flush, but it doesn't look unique.

    anyway, I drive a corvette, and a bunch of other random stuff.

    The vette is lowered an inch from stock, and it looks good but at the end of the day theres not much special about it...id love to go lower, we'll see.

    I've had a ton of 240's, bmws, audi's, and the list goes on and on.

    i miss those days, and constantly debate selling the vette and buying an e36 or e46 m3 to play with but I can't seem to commit to that.


    here's the vette, as I said, nothing too great just another vette.

    Pardon the awful pics, I put the 09' wheels on recently and have had no free time for some decent photos.







    and my favorite, from last winter:










    Of all of my past cars, I think this one would fit in the best here, and i miss it regularly:

    it was a 90 miata, with zero offset xxr's, raceland coils, haggard everything and a serious roll on all four fenders.











    anyway, hello everyone... love the site!

      C5s are good for going fast and that's about it

      Nice cars, though!

            I'm content with the 18 and 19 setup, much bigger and it just looks odd on these cars

                I think if you ran some dished wheels super aggressive, you could poke them while lowering the vette a inch lower... loads of potential for sure.

                  An inch lower would be ideal... with the factory suspension curruntly its as low as i can adjust it. Using rear leaf spring adjusting bolts from a c6 vette will give me the extra inch in the back, and i may be able to get a bit more out of the front.

                  I've been cheap with wheels, I haven't had a few grand lying around to buy exactly what I want lately so im being patient and not settling.

                  As far as a winter driver, I do drive the car regularly but i've always got something else around. In a few inches of snow its no worse than most anything else out there that isn't four wheel or all wheel drive. Or maybe i'm just not an idiot in the snow, haha..

                    C5 is my favorite

                    I have always wanted to see a slammed C5 with some stretch and poke, always though it'd look cool.
