Default American Racing wheels T70R (15 x 8)

Last week I sold my C3 Corvette and the buyer wanted the original rally wheels instead of the American Racing Wheels I had put on the car.

I have no need for these rims and would like to sell them. They are like brand new even though I bought them 9 years ago (I think). The car never saw rain or even a hose while these rims were on it and was always garaged.

As you can see, the rims look as good as new and I really haven't cleaned them up yet. They are 15" x 8" with zero backspacing; they fit my 1969 Corvette perfectly. I am also including the lug nuts that I had purchased for these.

I am asking $650.00 for the rims and lugs. This is pick up at my location only; I have no way of packing these up and shipping.

Very nice looking. I think you mean they have zero offset (or neutral offset) and 4" back spacing per your photo unless I am missing something. Should work well on all 69-82 Corvettes. Good luck with your sale, very nice wheels.

Beautiful looking wheels! These wheels have exactly a 4 inch offset as you can see in the picture. Since the rated width is 8 inches (inside) the outside width is close to 8-1/2 inches (counting lip width), and the offset would then be about 1/4 inch to outside. IIRC that is the stock diameter, offset and backspacing of a stock Ralley Wheel for 69-82. So they should fit any C3 perfectly with no mods.
I am also only 40 min from Egg Harbor NJ if anyone wants me to eyeball them. I have shipped wheels that big and it is not easy or cheap. Person to person C3 member delivery would be a much better option.

Zero offset on an 8" width wheel = 4.5" backspace. Since those wheels have a -12 offset, that equates to 4" backspace.
Those would be a nice wheel set, for certain C3's. GLWS.
