You can replace the trailing arms. I know that some offset trailing arms that allow your corvette to accept tires up to 2" wider than stock which would get you to 10". This will work for the rear tires. Most of the Internet Corvette parts places have them.

Default Cragars on c3

I have 15x8 cragars on mine and you must use 1/2 spacers for any cragar on a vette. Use the good machined spacers with longer lug nuts that go half way into the spacers to keep every thing smooth and true.
