Follow through

Ok...i have been wondering whether or not to follow through with my photoshop in my sig, from the before and after pic...i really like the way it looks...myself but im debating on whether or not to get new rims after i buy the 5 spokes...or to just keep those ones...and do what i planned on from the start...im not sure how a camaro on 16's would look lowered...your opinion please...

Never seen a lowered camaro with 16's ... But I can imagine that 17's or 18's would look much better.

You could always just go for it and then if you get a bunch of money laying around later then buy some bigger rims.

Yep, I agree. Don't let the size of your wheels stop you from lowering your car. Lowered with 16's won't look that bad, and as already mentioned......you can always through the bigger rims on it later.

as long as you get an alignment afterwards it should be fine. expect to pay a bit more for an alightment on fbodies though. i did one last week on a 94 v6. to adjust front caster/camber you need a special tool. i guess an alignment shop would have it so you might not need to pay more, but big o tires doesnt normally have it

i dont think it would look that bad, just remember to get it all aligned cause it looks horrible when the camber or caster is off

i know how alignments are...i have done a couple, i used to go to school for Auto Mechanics, but i need to get an alignment first right after rims bc my front right camber is so off its ruined my front tire...
