Re: Wheels (Double Black Vette)

That was Patrick96LT4's car before it was destroyed. He would be the man to ask about the sizes. Looks like 17x9.5 on all 4s to me. Maybe a little wider in the rear. But I could be wrong.

Re: Wheels

So if you put bigger diameter wheels on won't your speedo be wrong? Can you re-calibrate it. Just wondering :confused:

Patrick was running 315's in back the wheel diameter stayed the same so therefore no speedo error.

Here is a pic of my Ride:

I thought that the Grand Sport Coupe was the only LT4 powered car offered with the 11" wheel. Am I mistaken?

Re: Wheels (vallini)

I think Patrick had 285/45's on the rear of his old car. I emailed him with a question and he told me if i get those wheels i should go with the 285/45's in the rear because they dont stick out of the wheels well like the 315's. I dont know i could be miss understanding him but i think thats what he meant. If you know please let me know, because i may be getting these wheels and i want the right size tire in the rear :yesnod:
