glackore,

Just wondering what size wheel/tire combination you have on your car? What is the back spacing and did you have to do any modifications for fitment? What brand wheel is it? Thank you.

Guys,

My tire wheel combo consists of Vintage Wheel Works V40's. They are a custom off-set wheel manufacturer. They are high quality two-piece wheels: spun aluminum hoops with cast centers.

Front: 17x8 w/4" BS on P245/45/17 Nitto 555
Rear: 18x9.5 w/5" BS on P285/40/18 Nitto 555

No real mods were needed. I measured many times and I suggest anyone else do the same.

Thx, Gary

[QUOTE=Curby;1582454823]Love the Maroon/Dark Claret/Drimson colors.

Ever since I saw the first Crystal Red Metallic Vette in 2008, I have wanted to paint mine the color.

Well, This year, Josh at Custom Image Corvettes did me the favor.

Hope you like it, because I sure do!
Here she is in the garage

EASILY one of the coolest Vettes in all of the C3 pic threads, whew.
