Who sells 775 x 15" tires for my Vette? And will they fit in my wheel wells?


The answer to number 2 is on page 25 of the new ecklers catalog. I couldn't believe it !

My tires scrape when I turn ever since I mounted my new 22" wheels. Is this a common problem?

I like the back view of my vette better than the front. Is there a way to switch the steering and motor so I can drive the car backwards?

Of course with six speeds.

Here's one I asked some time ago:

Everytime I ask a question that I haven't seen on here before, which is typically in the technical vein, I usually get little response. It seems most would rather answer the easy and redundant questions.
Thank you for this oppurtunity to say this!
