Hi 77,
Yes!
I also answered in more detail on your other thread.
This really MUST be urgent!

That's a wee bit skinny for a 1977. A 225 would be better.

If you go with a 235 width (or wider) tire, you need to go with a 60 series radial instead of a 70. Large width 70 ratio tires have outer diameters that look too big for the wheelwell, IMO.

That's really narrow for a 77 . Put some real tires on it , so,it will handle properly .
GR 70'was th proper tire .....and it does fill up,the wheel well correctly .....the way it SHOULD look ....and the way GM thought it should as well.......correct.

This IS the correct look for this era corvette tire.
