What are specs on your wheels/tires and did you have any mod's to make the wheels and tires fit? Any spring, trailing arm or other changes?
The red car's 15 x 10 install is covered over in the C3 15" wheel thread. The silver car has 17x8 and 17x9.5 Torq Thrust II with 255-45 and 285-40 tires. I relocated the
parking brake cable and switched to a narrow rear spring. Don't remember the rear back spacing, front is 4".
I have the original wheels in storage, but wanted something different. I ended up with wire wheels. They are 15's. Front rubber is 255/60/15 and the rears are 275/60/15.
those wire wheels look awesome!!! its subtle and unique. can you point me in the right direction on where I can find ones like that?
Yea i went from 15x8 with 235 on the front and 255 on the back to 17x8 with 225 on the front and 235 on the back. They ride a lot nicer but needs to be lower so will get 8 inch bolts 4 the back and see what i can do with the front.
In the process of doing a lot of things, but since I'm working on brakes and suspension, I didn't want to put the old wheels and tires back on. 15x8 US Mags Indy U101 with 275.60.15 Cooper Cobra Radial GT's, with their billet spinners in the rear. I just stuck the other rear tire up front to see what it would look like. Cooper doesn't make a 260.60.15 anymore, so 255's up front will have to suffice.
3.1 inch and 2.9 inch from motorsport-tech. Wheel and hub centric. JR can hook you up. These adapters are lifetime warranty and survived MANY track events. BTW 2 coils cut from front springs. 10inch bolts in the rear stock spring

New shoes... 17x8 with 4" Backspacing on the fronts running Nitto 555 255/50ZR17 and 18x9.5 with 5" backspacing on the rear running Nitto 555 285/40ZR18's. I ended up putting on 1/4" spacers on the rear to clear the e-brake cable. I needed to remove the e-brake brackets as well. They will be relocated to the top of the Trailing Arm, and at that point, I will probably be able to get away with no spacers.

Looks Good! I went with 18x9.5 with 4 3/4 back spacing no mods at all.
