Default C3 Corvette Wheels

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew whether Torq thrust wheels would work with Wilwood front spindles (4 piston calipers) and what sizes? The Wilwood replacement 4 piston calipers were larger on the rear so, the stock wheels don't clear. Also, I have offset trailing arms on the back so, I'd like to run a wider tire. Any thoughts on this?

PS: This car is a frame off resto mod.

Thanks and God bless!

Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes, or other questions not related to the website, as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.


Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see your generation of Corvette listed. C3 (1968 - 1982):
C3 Technical: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...performance-3/

Additionally, you might also look into the Wheels and Tires section for all Corvettes:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-and-tires-6/

We encourage new members to take some time to browse around the site and read the Announcements and Stickies as they contain important and frequently asked information.

Thank-you
