Ahh...Excellent choise. i have to admit I thought the rims looked smaller than 18's...but im sure they'll look great once there mounted. Just dont burn the rubber off to quick...those tires are $$$$$

Well that makes perfect sense. I've never done that with a set of wheels... Probably should have. Especially when you pay that much.

Toyota Corollas cost less than HREs... so I'm pretty sure that the Boze wheels are less expensive... when I priced them out in 18" for the Firehawk, the were $2400 for the set... 18x9f, 18x10.5r

The front rims are just the factory offset for the 3rd gen Camaro...the rears have a 6.25 backspacing but you can order them with any offset that you want...if you want a deep lip or not!

Today my new HID Headlights came in, I will provide a detailed installation if some of you guy's ever decide to go with HID's in the future...that will commence on monday.



I also went to the Tire Shop and picked up my Boze Rims where they had the Toyo T1-R's mounted, balanced ect! The tire sizes are 245/35/18 front & 285/35/18 rear...man are they wide compared to my old one's which were 225/45/17 front & 245/45/17 rear...you can see the difference in one of the pics. I also repainted the brake brackets, center part of the rotors (black) and the calipers (red)...I will upgrade to the Z-06 Calipers probably in the fall or next winter along with an air ride kit & tubular k-member/a-arms!






Here is what has to be done for the correct fitment of a 10" rim with a 6.25 backspacing on a 3rd gen Camaro...first you have to remove the bump stoppers, then you have to cut the inside of the fender which is shown to prevent the tire/rim from rubbing and then you have to massage/hammer the part where the rear seatbelts are held in place (down low where you see the red battery cable running)...mind you I removed mine outta there a while back because no one sits in the back anymore! and there you have it...not that much in modding for the big rims to fit nicely tucked in the fender well, I will post up more pics when the car is on the ground next week!
