C3 Wheel Question!
Does anybody use Centerline Telstar wheels?
If yes - do they clear the calipers of a C3 Vette?
Thanks in advance

I have Weld Prostars. I had to grind the calipers down some and put In longer wheel studs with wheel spacers. Kind of a pain to do, but I have the only corvette around with Prostars on. I have 15x8 with 5.5 back space on the rear and 15x5 on the front. I dropped almost 60lbs going from ralley wheels to Pro stars.

Looks like those wheels are out of the question for me if I need spacers.. Don't want to use spacers because I race pretty frequently.. and I just don't feel comfortable racing sticky tires in combination with wheels with spacers..
