I've resisted the siren song of larger shoes so far... I like the old-school look of the 15s.
P235/60 on front, P255/60 on back; rears stick out just a bit, and I had to use a .25" spacer with the Cragar wheels to clear the brake calipers.

I wish I could remember but it was too many years ago when I bought them. I do recall finding backspacing info here and then verifying it with AR before ordering. I hope that helps. If you can't find what you need I can get under the car and try to get that for you but I think AR can take care of you.

Creeper moment of the day. I think I just saw you post over on the ViperAlley and your location was "ozarks". If you're in the Little rock area bring one or all? of the cars to the cars and coffee this saturday morning in the starbucks parking lot on cantrell road. Unfortunately my corvette isn't in Arkansas right now but I'll bring my viper this time.
Great looking cars by the way!!

Since the bushings and alignment were good I notched them while on the car. The reinforcement extends a couple of inches beyond the opening. I welded it as far as I could thought the opening plus plug welds on the back side. And of course the parking brake cable has to be moved.
Here's the BS info https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1591003218

I think your present combo looks great, only thing i would do different if it was mine ould be to fill up rear wheel well a little more, i guess the 18's would do that, but i like more tire instead of wheel, either way it will look good.

255/60/15 rear, 245/60/15 front. They are actually chromed rallys with dog dish type center caps. (BTW, same car both pics.) I've wanted chrome reverse wheels for as long as I can remember (can't remember day before yesterday, but 70 years ago is CAFB.) These are about as close as I've gotten. Have a great weekend, Bill
