I run 15x3.5" fronts with 165's and 15x8" rear with 28x10.50's. I care more about being light and going fast in a straight line than looking "badass" though.

I always prefer the 3inch harness because the 2 inch harness can cause you to break your colar bone if you crash (so I've heard). But I guess it depends on how often you drive and race the car.

That seatbelt picture is part of a contest on collegehumor.com. Figure out which one on your own.

I'm glad there are other people out there who aren't all into the low profile big' ole wheels. Don't get me wrong, I think they look good, but so do a lot of other combinations. I think 15's and 16's look MUCH meaner than 17's or 18's. Just the same way a Chevelle SS looks meaner than a Lambo Diablo. Doesn't mean one is faster than the other, but sleak supercar, and mean musclecar are two totally different looks.

...I think Irocs with 16's and stock ride height have the BEST stance for a thirdgen with a "mean" look. Ideally I'd love to have 2. One stock, and one in the weeds with big ole rims. (not TOO big). They each have there place.

when I went to pick them out, they actually ordered about 3 sets, to get the absolute best fit possible. I'm not sure what they went with, but they fit great..

xpndbl3: who's car is this and is there a website for it?
I remember the black "ProRoc" camaro was for sale on ebay awhile ago. The guy listed it twice and both times it didn't meet the reserve so who knows, maybe he still has it. I copied and saved every picture from his auction though, so here's what was lurking under the hood in case anyone was wondering. Also a shot of the custom exhaust. Now that is BADASS!!!!
