RIMS

Having finished painting the 69, the wife took one look at the car and said " It looks great but it needs a set of rims, those rally wheels just don't work with the new paint job". Well thats the green light for me to get a set of rims. My questions are :
1) What is the bolt pattern for the c3 vettes
2) The rims I am looking at are 17X8 with 4" backspacing, will these fit without hitting the emergcy brake bracket.
Thanks :cool:

(17x8) with 4'' back spacing go with tire ( 255x45x17) this is a perfect fit and the bolts pattern is measure your old rims b/c i forgot , you can do a search too.

I got 255/50-17 and they fit great as well, but are harder to find.
