Thoughts on Wheel fitment.
Do you guys think these will fit?? They're the right bolt pattern width and offset -6mm, but what are the odds they would clear the calipers?? Probably not good right?? Any opinons on whether these would look good on a resto-mod 73?? Thanks

Very few wheels made today will fit our cars. If you're looking at new wheels like these, run an application search if possible. The stock calipers are HUGE and interfere with anything but a vette specific wheel. Adapters or spacers can make things work, but it's hit or miss. Before I spent any money I'd talk in person with the wheel mfg and selling vendor and make sure they know it's for your c3 vette.

Not sure about that, there are many wheels that will fit in the 17 and 18 inch and up diameters, just have to get the backspacing correct. I don't like those two wheels, take a look at Boyd Coddington, Intro, Chip Foose, Coys, American Racing, these are just a few of wheel makers that have wheels that fit our C3's there are many more
