I know this isn't to everyone's taste, but does anyone have pictures of an 05' with larger rims on the rear and smaller ones on the front (i.e. like the old muscle car stance)?

I'm thinking of lowering mine, but maybe go with this set-up instead of keeping the same diameter wheel all around.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Look up JPC, JMS and JDMs shop cars. They all have skinny fats and looks good. The front wheels look a little funny since they are aligned right at the edge of the fender, but it's cool anyway.

That's a great picture! Actually, I was wondering if anyone had an image of an 05' with larger rims in the rear and smaller in the front as opposed to just tires (although that gives me another option to think about).

Thanks guys!

One item of caution. The ABS is very sensative to different tire speeds between front/rear axles. Too much of a difference (I'm sorry I don't know how much) will cause the ABS light to come on.

You really deserve a round of applause for the great work you have put into that ride.. Thats the most muscle car looking GT I have seen thus far.. I would be nervous to even make eye contact with you at a stoplight! LOL!
