I'm considering moving up to 17" wheels, and I figured it'd be better to see the wheels actually mounted on a Corvette instead of just as a picture in a catalog.

Please list the wheel manufacturer in case I see something I can't live without.

Thanks!

I posted last month about installing 255/50/17's and got an almost unanimous due to firment/rubbing issues.

Now, with this post, I see almost everyone running 'em.

So...who's lying? I'm getting close to purchase.

i have 255.50.17 on my 74r.....no rubbing fitment issues at all...also no picture at the moment.......for tire choice you may well consider 18" wheels as there seems to be little new in 17" in wider tires...most seem to be now in 18"........john

'74 here also. I already have the wheels, but the existing tires are too small (245/40-17).

I really like these, how much does a set of these cost?

There are some pretty awesome wheels out there...Id have to say if were to put on some non-original wheels on my vette I couldn't go past the TT11's.

I have nitto nt450 tires.....i also have manual steering,so i adjusted the travel to make sure not rubbing on frame rail.....i have new springs and shocks so no sag......nothing hits at all except some times on full lock with compression on one side as when turning into a sttep upsloping drive way...john
