Anyone know the wheel and tire size on this car, very nice setup. Backspacing too?

Rears actually look like 20s in this pic.

Yea, I love the stance on this Vette too. I'm tailoring my 69 to be just like Red73 when it grows up. BTW, the front backspace is 4.0 running 245/40-17's and the rears are 5.5 running 285/35-18's. He's also added offset trailing arms with a shortened "Guldstrand" rear leaf with the long spring bolts.

Are you sure about that wheel and tire size? The rear looks much bigger than the front, and with those sizes the rear only ends up being 1 inch bigger.

245/40/17 = 24.7 in. diam.

285/35/18 = 25.7 in. diam

Heres a pick of my car with 235/60/15 and 275/60/15
my rear diam. is 2 inches bigger than the front, and on the other car it looks like a bigger difference.
