Wheel size and spacer question
I'm looking at this style wheels for my 80 vette,
http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Corvette-...68098-2-1.html
I have VBP Performance Plus with VBP Offset Trailing Arms, Dual Mount Rear Spring, and rear swaybar. My question is, what size wheels/tires can I go with on the front/rear and what size spacers do I need for the front/rear with keeping the rear swaybar? Thanks!

You should be ok with 2.5" adapteres in the front, and 2.75" adapters in the rear. You could use 2.5" adapters in the rear if you modify your sway bar, like I did.

Should I stick with 17x9.5 front and rear or go with 18's on the rear? I'll be pushing close to 500 HP, so would it be better to lose the swaybar to add some extra meat in the back?
