I am looking at the exact same set up. Are your rear wheels 9.5" wide? 4.5" and 5.25" back space?

Lots of very nice setups in this thread! Does anyone have pics of their car with the ET Wheels LT III? I'm really leaning towards getting a set of 18x10 for my 68.

you know I have a Grand sport as well and was amazed by how much attention this car got yesterday. It has been sitting for 5 years so it needs some TLC especially with the cross fire. right now I am running super unleaded with cleaner to try and clean it up before I replace the injectors. it sure is fun to drive though, takes me back to high school.

I love that look and i'm wanting to do the same thing. What size tires did you go with? and did you have use any wheel spacers? or make any mods.

Here is my old 80 after my buddy I sold it to in Brazil painted it. It has Halibrand 18 x 9.5 all the way around with 265/40/18 and 285/40/18 tires.





Here is my 75 with 18 x 9.5 Vision Legend wheels front and rear with 265/40/18 and 285/40/18 tires. The front has VB&P 550 springs with 1/2 coil cut off and rear 360 spring adjusted to sit about a half inch higher than the front.

Very nice, Is that with all standard control arms on the front and torque arms and spring on the back? because they are big feet. Do you know the overall diameter of them front and rear?

Thats exactly the setup I want for mine, I just gotta save up and live in poverty mode for a while because the costs for the Vansteel suspension and Forgelines sent to Australia is absolutely frightening, It's the freight that is out of control these days. Cheers Mate.

Those are the best looking wheels on the C3 next to a set of M Parallels I have seen. Well done.

STRIKE!

Just updating with some new wheels. Cosmis 18x10 on all corners. Works out to a 6.29" bs w/ some wheels adapters. Not ideal with adapters but there isn't many other "off the shelf options" out there that I like and these are different.
