New American Racing Vector wheel on C3's?
American Racing has re-released the old Vector wheel. I have wanted a set of these on my '76 for a long time now. My question is whether or not they will fit.
They have them in the correct bolt pattern in a 15 X 8.5 size. But it shows the offset at +6 and the backspacing at 5 inches. I don't know what these measurements are for the stock C3 rally wheel.
Will this wheel clear the caliper and will it move the tire in or out inside the fenderwell?

Dont know about clearing the caliper, but 5" of backspace on a 15" wheel is too much. Thats 1" more than stock.
It will deffinately hit the e-brake handle in the rear and probably hit the tie rod/ball joint in the front.
Not to mention the wheel will be 1/2" further inside the wheel arch.
