that looks good i will check into them , the one was 17x9 did they fit with out doing different trailing arms, the ones i look at were 17x8 or 17x9 at ecklers c3 catalog 25-352233 or 25-352228 page 219. My 71 is a restored mod 500 hp rack& pinion,5 speed, coil over adj shocks all 4 corners, with a lot of other little up grades.. this is what i like about the vette forum before a lot of money is spent find out before hand if it works
