Default My buddy's 1969 Z/28

Just messing around this weekend,snapped some shots of my friends Z/28,originally a X-33/D-80 LeMans blue car,now sports a House of Kolor tweaked pearl/candied blue which really pops in the sun.Wheels are 18x8" American Racing CL205 (4.5" b/s) all-around with 265/35's in front and 285/35's in the rear:

I'm not really into hot rodding original muscle, but that is one tastefully modified Camaro! Stunning look, paint and wheels!

No problem Chris.He measured the wrong b/s on his first attempt at ordering these wheels...where do you think those went...and for cheap?

4"....not ideal on these cars considering it's just an 8" wide wheel.If I had to do it over,I'd stuff some 11's on the rear with a 6.5" b/s and 9.5's on the front w/5.5" b/s.
