That looks very nicely done! I like the silver on silver with the black top.

And you've also nailed the right look (in my mind anyway) of modern tires on a C3. The 255/50/17 still has enough meat to look like the classic that the Vette is. Superb photos of a superb ride.

That is an outstanding restoration. Looks all original except wheels and tires? Could be used as a teaching tool about how a '75 Corvette should look..

Looks great! I wish I was done with my 75 Vert. At least I'm up and running now.

What tires and wheels are those exactly, size, part number etc. and have you noticed any difference in how the car drives with these versus you previous tires and wheels?

Looks like it just came off the assembly line.

Enjoy your new ride, before winter arrives.

17x8 Torq Thrust II All around with Nitto G2 555 - 255/50zR17 give me a 27.1 inch stock diameter .... no mods have been done to suspension yet..and I did not have to remove EBrake bracket. It rides and handles better in my opinion
I got a great deal from Wheels For Less.... the whole package including Mount, Balance, lug nuts and shipping for $1161.00

I had that interior in my 75. Love the silver interiors. Two differences. I had silver carpet and I had factory woodgrain on the shifter console.
