Aftermarket wheels manufacturer ADV.1 has released images of a heavily modified C8 Corvette Stingray equipped with a custom widebody kit rocking a set of its multi-piece forged alloy wheels.
While these images were shared by the maker of the aftermarket wheels, we imagine most readers will be wondering about the wild-looking widebody kit installed on this particular C8 Corvette Stingray. This kit is from a company called Extreme Dimensions, which manufactures a wide variety of rather outlandish-looking body kits and cosmetic components for all sorts of domestic and import vehicles. The kit includes Extreme Dimensions’ so-called ‘Gran Veloce’ kit for the C8 Corvette, including a new front bumper, front and rear fender flares, side skirts and a wicker bill spoiler. This car also appears to feature an aftermarket lower rear diffuser from Carbon Creations.
The wheels, meanwhile, are ADV10RF units from the company’s Track Spec series. These directional, three-piece forged alloy wheels measure 20 inches by 9.5 inches in the front and 21 inches by 12 inches in the rear. They feature a brushed lip with a gloss Liquid Smoke finish and are wrapped in a set of sticky Michelin summer tires. Other modifications applied to this C8 Corvette include an exposed carbon fiber weave hood, red-painted brake calipers and an aftermarket exhaust with circular, black-painted exhaust tips. Based on how low to the ground this car is sitting, we’re willing to wager that it’s also equipped with an air ride suspension system.
ADV.1 offers a wide variety of aftermarket wheels, many of which are available in sizes adaptable to the C8 Corvette Stingray. While these multi-spoke wheels are quite radical, the company also sells less ornate wheels that feature OEM-style fitment and styling for customers that don’t want an extremely modified look such as this.

Ugly
Couldn’t agree more myself, it’s “too” custom.
This C8 appears to be designed strictly for the track. Being this low to the ground it would be forever scraping against something for those who would dare drive it on the street.
So now we know what the guy who designed the Pontiac Aztec is doing since getting fired from his last gig.
Looks terrible. It should be a crime to do that to a Corvette.
Those will be a cleaning nightmare! Tomg
I lowered several of my Vettes, trucks. Vans, escalades, burbs, hot rods and others since my first, a 55 chevy, in 1973. My dad was doing it in the early 50s. During my 45 year career as a custom pinstriper 75% of the vehicles I did were lowered. Lowering cars is not a new thing. Since the 1920s, lowering vehicles has been done for aerodynamics and aesthetics. My family has been building custom vehicles since the 1800s and incorporated the lowered style in many personal and business rides. A relative from Switzerland built highend custom cars in the 1930s and all had that low slung look. Harley Earl pushed the low look in the 1930s while he was at GM and Cadillac. Lowered is not for everyone just us abnormal individualists who love to provoke.
The body alterations are so bad I didn’t even notice the car was lowered.
Looks like all of it’s legs are broken.
Screw-on fender flares. Real classy. Not.
I have lowered a lot of my vehicles, but have never gone for the “laying on the pavement look. Too many memories of the only time that you would get that look is when your wheels and tires had just been stolen!
Obviously this vet was created for show not an every day driver. Cool to look at.
Terrible, looks like something Hot Wheels would come up with. Slammed. More like smashed, obviously it isn’t driven that way so why bother. This poor guy has horrible taste, but money to waste.
IT HAS AN ELECTRIC LIFT SYSTEM
The best widebody designs for the Corvette I have seen come from Ivan Tampi.
