Hey sorry guys, I ended up selling this car before finishing the widebody.

I really tried my best but it's very difficult to do properly, my wheels were just too extreme.

I did it all in the living room of a condo, and having to take the elevator up and down after every cut and trim to test fit on the car didn't help.

After this car I moved on to a supercharged Z06, I rebuilt the same wheels in this thread to a 19x10 and 19x13 , on stock body

and now a modded C6 grand sport.






5 years later I'm still in love with these cars 👍

Though for those that are serious about this, and I'm sure there are a few, I'd argue that there's no point. Not because you're trashing your handling, which you are, but because the type of people that find this trend "cool" really don't care for American cars. It's more of a JDM/Euro thing, and in those circles, American cars are often considered uncool. So you'd basically be wasting your money and ruining your car to impress a crowd that doesn't care.
I wasn't trying to fit in with anyone, I love the look of widebody cars .

On my widebody C6 I'd love to go even wider but the extreme kits are just too expensive.

I think of Japan as having very few places to enjoy a sports car, it makes even less sense to do it here, but that's me, an old fart

I reserve the right to mock anyone with extreme negative camber.
