What wheels will be going on the finished product?

Thanks demonx.

I've got 2 two sets of wheels, both sets are TT11's. I reckon they suit the chrome bumper C3's.

I've got old school look 15x8 (4"bs) with BF Goodrich TA 255/60/15.



I also have the retro look with 17x8 (4" bs) with Nitto 245/45/17 for the front and 18x9.5 (5.25" bs) with Nitto 275/40/18 for the rear.

I would have liked to have gone wider on the rear but didn't want to fit flares and also wanted to keep the tyres contained in the fenders.

demonx:
They'll suit it well.

I had TTII's on mine for a while, 18X8 all round. Next time I'll go 17 front and 18 rear.

I went with the 17/18 as I like the staggered look of Gunther's 68 (from corvetteforum).
I am in the process of relocating the park brake brackets to the top of the trailing arm, its something I should have done when I rebuilt them. Also have a slightly shorter rear spring comming from VBP.

Hi guys

We have split this thread so that the topic about the wheels and sizes etc is now in it's own thread and the rebuild can continue here.

CLICK ME for the new thread.

Kind Regards
