68 wheel sizes

Did all 68s come with 7" wheels?

I thought so. I spotted a Brittish green L68 4sp air t-top today at a dealers. I was crawling around looking under and the dealer came out. I told him It looked correct except the 8" wheels. He said big blocks got 8". I told him I didn't think so but he might be right. I didn't want to start a argument and sound like a know it all. The car is pretty nice. Has PW and speedwarning. Had saddle interior.

He lied.

Food for Thought: if he doesn't know his wheels, do you think he knows his Corvettes?

Salesmen lie through their teeth. Never believe a salesman. Next he'll be telling you it was only driven on Sundays by a little old lady who pampered it.

He didn't lie. He spoke a falsehood.

If you don't know you don't know... you think you know.

6" wheels in 67 (even the bigblocks) 7" in 68, one year only, another reason we love 68s, and 8" for many years after that.
