Wheel sizes on C3?

Hi All,
I'd like to put Torq Thrust II's on my '74, and would like to know what size wheels you guys run. Would really appreciate pics too so I can get the look!
Thanks

Send a PM to Curt here. His wheel and tire package is one of my favorites. I don't know the sizes but he will be happy to help you out.

I also have a '74 and I sent a PM to Curt and here's his reply;
"I'm running 17inch American Racing Torque Thrust 2's W/ Kuhmo 255/50/17. This is a perfect fit for size all the way around with no rubbing. You won't have to recalibrate your Speedo either.

Here’s where I got my wheels and tires from. Great place to buy from and mount/balance/shipping free. $143.00 per tire and $276.25 per wheel. = $1677.00

Good luck, I hope this helps."

Almost the same set-up as the previous car. 17" TTII's, 255/50/17 Sumitomos.

The car HAS been lowered since I took this picture.

17"x8" TTII's with Bridgestone Potenza RE750 255/50-17's.

For much the same reasons as Curt... they fit with no mods...and they look good.

Sorry about the large pic...

Hey Brandywine, I have a really neat and very easy to use program for fast resizing of pictures. It's a simple 'right' click and a 'left' click, and it's resized. PM me your email address and I will send it to you.
