Stock suspension guys, for some reason it looks lowered. This morning people at the office asked me if I lowered the car together with the wheels, that's weird.

I choosed the wrong lens and my pictures came out bad, so I'll try shooting again in an hour, if everything is OK I'll post them tonight.

Hey Joe, the whole diameter is almost the same as stock, front and rear. What's really closing the gap is actually the wheels being flush with the fenders. I think anyone using spacers with the stock wheels will have the same effect.

Nope, not at all. Way different design. Both have thin spokes but that's all.

I love seeing ISF's on aggressive spec wheels. The car deserves them. The stockers are just too soft for this brute. Way to go!

Well, I was ready to get Nitto Invos but for some reason I stopped right before pulling the trigger and decided to do more research. I didn't really know the brand, but while searching online I found that people running the Invo in similar sizes also tried the Vredestein. The general comment was in favor of the Vredestein, especially in the Corvette community. There is even a magazine test that had it as #1 against big names such as the PS2, Dunlop, Continental, etc. I decided to give them a try and so far my impression is very positive. Keep in mind that these tires are much wider, having said that I can feel more grip, now I'm unable to spin the tires on second or third as it happened before. Road noise is normal, just as any other summer tire, sidewall is stiff, perfect for my taste. The ride is smooth, my car doesn't bounce as much as before (still stock suspension). Cornering has been improved, I think it's due to the stiffer sidewall as well as the bigger contact patch. Also this tire features a rim guard, just like the stock Bridgestone, the Invo doesn't have it.
