They will for sure. But this a dual purpose car of sorts haha

Call me crazy but this is sort of my quest to build the poor man's Z06 which is a 427 (7.0L) rated 505 hp and returns 28 mpg at 75 mph. If it can do it, I feel I should be able to get close. It has 18" front and 19" rear and they are wider.
I'm sure it's considerably less frontal area than my car, and I know it sits lower, but I don't think it's THAT much of a difference. But I could be wrong. Lol
