Welcome to the forum!

This is the C3 section. Although the cars are very similar drivetrain wise you’ll probably get more relevant answers in the C2 section.

As for wheels and tires, I have 17” aluminum rallys that I like.

My '64 with 17" all-around. But you should move this post to the C1/C2 forum. These C3 guys on this forum don't even know that Vettes were built in 1966.
