Thanks for the comments guys!

The wheels are Tenzo Tracers, 18x8.5 . They don't clear the 1G calipers so we're having to run a 1/4 in. wheel spacer in the front until we get our 2G brake swap done. The front wheels stick out just a bit in the front, so once we get those spacers off, they should sit pretty flush with the fender.

It's all about spoke design. 1st gen calipers stick out the same amount as 2nd gen but the 1st gen sits closer to the centre which fouls on some wheels. Mine hit on the inside edge. I suspect they will clear 2nd gen calipers as the spokes start to angle outwards giving more space on the outer edges.

this. you can clearly see foxy's wheels have concave spokes. by rights, the further out the caliper sits, the more clearance there should be to the spokes. same problem i have currently on my 2g brakes & volks. as soon as i can get some 355's, i should be able to ditch the spacers. *crosses fingers*

Tenzo's are nice. I bought mine for like $90 each, and weighing in at 18lbs, I can't complain. I would have liked them to be wider like 18 x 9 to run 265/35/18 instead of stock.

SSR GT2 knock offs, but I got tired of waiting for some for sale - and I won't be able to pry them away from jason's cold dead hands, when that happens, even when the 99 is long gone :)

says the guy with the show car, fiberglass bumper, and slammed to the ground. let me know how that works out for you if you use it on a daily basis & have to deal with imperfect grading.

Not a daily driver, it was that low before all the body and paint and was daily driven with a lip though and I never scraped. The roads here suck you just have to not drive like a jackass

Ding. I drove with my Stealth lowered to a tight two finger gap for 3.5 years and never had a problem with it.

I drove my GTO with a no finger gap all summer with zero issues, and the city I live in is pretty well famous for having terrible roads.

Yes, wheel gap disease will be dealt with this winter, at least for my car.

I went on a fun run Sat. with some friends, and I got destroyed by a C5 (red) and a C6 (yellow). However, in the looks department, being a 15yr car I still think it can hold it's own. Way better than a C3, C4 imo.

A couple of years ago on another fun run our 3s group ran into a Vette group. One of the older gentleman said in a couple of years that we 3s'ers would sell our cars to younger kids and move onto the Vette platform - I think he was on to something...I'll be testing the trickle down theory with my buddy on the yellow one.

In the mean time, I'm hoping the build for the VR-4 will be a little more competitive to these beasts...

This is an interesting discussion. I'll have to try dropping my car another inch when I get it back out of storage. Of course, the deciding factor for me has been all the interstate construction and the giant bumps that that has produced in my area that scare me away from slamming it.
