Thinking 17" TTII's, not sure of the tires yet. I have more shopping around to do, plus searching all available options before making a decision. Got plenty of time to think about it while I'm installing the TPI

My resolution is to install all the parts I have sitting on my parts shelf before I order any more parts. :o

The parts that just glare at me are body mounts. Ugh!

Don't spend money on parts to Keep the Vette running. Lol that resolution won't last long For now I'm safe since its in winter storage. I'm sure once I start driving it that will be the end of the n y resolution.

True, 18" tires don't have that old school high profile of 15's, but I prefer the benefits of modern UHP tires over the C3 era look. Besides, I don't think 18's ruin the look of a C3.

I went from 15's to 17 x 8" Am.Racing TT2's. I'm thinking of 18's in back when I get my offset trailing arms on.Not sure about offset or width after the extra.5" I will then have
