FREEBIES, 4x white salad shooters with Kuhmo Ecsta tires on them

Tires = pretty worn.
Rims? Good shape, I don't think they have any curb rash on them. Could be a little on there.

Why white salad shooters? I was in a bind, and a member stepped up here and offered them up for free. A few people said they'd take them, but none did. I needed tires to roll around on, and they served that purpose excellently for 3 years.

So, just as they were offered to me, I am putting them up here for free as well.

First come first serve.

I would have kept them around and put some Nitto NT01 rubber on them, but moving to the C5 front brakes killed that idea as you need a 17" rim minimum to fit them.

here they are on my GTA.

Same 17x9 zr1 wheels on NT05 rubber I had last year. I kept the salad shooters around because I was originally going to do a LS1 brake swap and they would fit over those. But with the C5 brakes that won't happen.

I'm in the same boat as you bill. I want the c5 brakes but need 17 inch wheels.

That is the first car I have seen that those look good on!

off topic, but cant you put c5 calipers on an ls1 setup to clear 16" wheels?

Yes, but you don't get the advantages of a larger rotor.

There was a thread started maybe a few months ago in the brakes page about the new Wilwood FSL calipers and C5 rotors, can't recall if that was said to fit a 16" wheel or not.
