C3's with 18" wheels only thread
As some of you know Im starting to build a 81 pro-touring vette.
I will post pics as soon as most of my parts come in. I have purchased a spare 80/82 frame to cut/modify/minitub.
I will either go 17/11 rear no FLARES, or... 18/12 rear No FLARES.
I will post pics of the whole modification. I would like to see vettes with 18s only. dont have to be 12 inches wide.
post up please.
and this one is pretty killer

Rears are 18X10 with a 5.5 backspace. Running 275 40 18 on stock trailing arms. The tires in the pictures are Kumhos but I have since "worn" them out and replaced them with Nitto NT05. Much stickier tire. I also have painted the spokes of the rims with a gray paint. Just did not want all the shine.
