Any rubbing or trimming? A guy on FB got 9.5" sawblades and I advised him to get 32mm adapters. I'm hoping they fit well.

Yeah, I had to trim some of the fender liner and re route the brake lines on both sides. Nothing major though, so at half an inch less in the rear there will probably be plenty of clearance.

Sweet.
Are you planning to leave the center caps blank or are you thinking about putting emblems on them?

GMAX GM1 18x8 ET +45 with 25mm 114.3mm adapters. 225 40 18 tires. 4 out of 20 new lug nuts were bad right out of the box, so I will be calling the company and having more sent out. Don't worry, I don't intend to drive very far on 4 lugs lol. IMO this setup has just the right amount of tire, just a hair past the flush line. Still on stock suspension, but I have a big stereo and all 4 stock wheels and tires in the back, so it sits a little lower than normal at the moment. Was lookin to go with the KSport springs but I think I will run into some problems if I go 2" lower as far as rubbing goes. So we'll see, just happy to have some new shoes.

Konig Z-IN
As it was almost 70 here in Wisconsin yesterday and is forecast to stay warm. I decided to swap out my stock 15's with snow tires for my new, Konig Z-In's last night. They are 17x7, et 40, with Yokohama Avid 225/45/17's. The cell phone pics aren't the best but I was impatient to get them posted here. Have to see if I can get the fiancé to take some better pictures this weekend.

Get some air in those poor tires!those look nice though, digging the red accent
Yeah, I'm going to have to play around with increasing the air pressure. The top pic is from last night, Discount Tire had them inflated to 35psi, said that was factory recommend
GM recommends 38 on the sticker. I thought they looked low so I inflated them up to 40 on my way to work this morning then took the second pic, the rears look better but the front still look low.The red accent is what pulled me towards them, it compliments the red of the car without being overbearing or gaudy.

1993-1996 Corvette Sawblades - 17"x8.5" - 56mm Offset - 20mm Adapters - 225/45 Michelins
What offset should I go with if I don't want adapters but still want similar look as yours? Liking that 45 sidewall for driving comfort as I think about it more.

My effective offset is now 31mm up front and 28mm rear. If you get an 8.5" wheel a 30mm offset would be about perfect.

Mmmm pretty. I'm debating these or some FourPlay or something else from another GM vehicle.

United Kingdom Ebay. It took a while to find a set like the ones I wanted in the 5x105 bolt pattern. So you have to do a lot of searching and have a lot of patience. Took me about 4 months to find them, get a mail forwarding company to work with me, and then ship them over the pond.

I like using different OEM rims as aftermarket. It looks natural while still standing out as something different
