C3 wheel applications
Help. I have a 70 Coupe that I am hoping to put AR Torque Thrust D's on.
I heard that 15" wheels will be a problem because of the calipers. Do I have options other than 16" or 17" wheels? If not, does anyone have size info?
Thanks

Re: C3 wheel applications (Red73)
The II look great on your car. What size tires are you running and what is the stats on your wheels? Backset, ect. ect.? I'm new to this game, how do I get ahold of yellow 72? Tim

Hi 5405:
Check out my forum web site, I have 15x8 TT II's with grey powder coating. The coating makes them look like "D"'s. http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c3/chuck73/

Re: C3 wheel applications (5405)
Wheels are 15 x 8 with 4 inch backspacing. Front tires are 255/60 15s and the rear tires are 275/60 15s. I also have offset trailing arms so I'm not concerned about the tire hitting the parking brake bracket.
