I have typed and erased a few replies as just couldn't find the right words. So I'll leave it at this: your vette is just too

for words

Up the page a little higher in post 465 you can see the same Centerline rim in a 18" x 9.5" with a 5" back space on the rear. I moved the e-brake cable to the top of the trailing arm, but there is plenty of room to spare in back. I am running a 275 / 40 tire on the rear and I have had no rubbing issues in the fender flair area either. Fronts are 18" x8" with a 4" BS. Tire is a 255/ 45. Dave
