11 Black GT/CS vert with LS wheels

Just traveled 750 miles to pick up my 11 GT/CS convertible (24k miles).
The minute i rolled into town i had the LS wheels ready to be put on. The tires are a bit narrow for the 9" wide wheels but they will have to do for now.

The car is a 6MT and has heated seats and navigation.

Boss splitter is on the car now but not shown in the crappy iphone pic below. I cant find my Nikon camera cord or else there would be better pics. Will post them tonight...

Looks great! I've been thinking about those wheels for my black vert. I'm looking forward to seeing some better pictures.

Nice! I think those wheels look better on the vert than the coupe! Did you just throw on your stock tires?

I didnt get the 10" on the rear because i was reusing the stock tires. the 9 in rims are too wide for the 245s but they will have to do for now.

245s are actually okay for a 9" wheel. I ran my 245/45s on my 17x9 Cobra wheels and they weren't stretched at all.

Throw some 1" spacers on the back for now. But yeah, you need to lower! The 2012 black grille would complete the look too.

i just put 2 245s on my 95 with the chrome cobra Rs ( i thought that is what i had) and they look too narrow for me. Comparing to the 255s that i have on the back and the 255s look perfect. The 245s may be ok, but the 255s look better.

Been debating about the lowering, not sure if i want to mess up the ride, This is my dd and it rides so smooth...
I agree on the 12 grill. daddy likee!
