I'm going to mock up a C3 hub assembly to check aftermarket wheel clearances.

Which has the tightest go/no-go clearances, front or rear?

Thanks in advance

are you referring to the wheel mounting surface versus the sides of the brake caliper or some other measurement?

I want to check some "no name" torque thrust style wheels to make sure the brakes clear. My car is in another state, so I cant use that.

they need to be at least 15" in diameter but you need someone to measure the wheel mounting surface to caliper distance on a corvette and then compare that to the wheel to make sure the spokes of the wheel dont hit the caliper sides.
The manufacturer doesnt provide a application guide?

No, these are vintage rims from the 60's. I found a person who has a stash of these wheels, some are magnesium...

Seems like they will need to be put on and checked. I have a few customers with the old school wheels and some use the spacers with extended wheel studs and others have special adapter hubs made.
