Default 80's corvettes with CRAGARS. Pictures ??

Gents !

Anyone with pictures of their vette with SS CRAGARS chrome wheels ?

The stock rim size is 15 X 8 on the 80's vettes right ?

What would be the standard tire size for the 15 X 8 rims ?

Can I go bit wider without causing any inside fender rubs ?


First time vette owner...

Anyone with pictures, please post'em and make me droooool...

Welcome to the site.
Congrats on your new toy.
Assuming your "80's Vette" is a C3 (1968-1982) model, your tire size is 255/60/15 and will fit nicely on a 15x8 which is also the stock size wheel. Make sure your offset is correct.

On a 15in rim this is about as wide as you can get on the front. You can also mount a 275/60 in the rear. Anything wider will require mods.

There are plenty of C3's with TTII's, they look a lot like Cragars IMHO. Do a search for those, you'll get plenty of hits. They're more readily available and probably cheaper, too!
