Sigh.. winter has arrived in Winterpeg
Hope you're all appreciating the sunshine and dry roads in the south. Don't worry about me though, I refuse to go without my Camaro regardless the weather.
PS - that's not a ZL1 front splash guard... that's ice. |

They are Blizzak's on 18" Borbet rims. It was a Tirerack package that a C5 user sold to me after they got rid of their Camaro (before ever actually using them!).
As I was just driving home, with about 10 " of snow all over the residential streets around my house, I was thinking I should record a video of how well I was cruising over everthing. The car performs remarkably well with those tires on it. I pulled in front of a buddies house and the snow was so bad at the end of his driveway that any other car I've driven would have been stuck. No problems! |

Definitely not the best looking wheels on a Camaro, especially with that offset. Function is more important than looks though.
Do they clear the stock Brembos OK or did you have to trim?
