There are a lot of nice looking C3's on here! And it shows that all of the different tastes result in nice looking rides!

Need Advice on Wheels
 
Great Pictures on here guys.......

I need to ask for your assistance on an issue as well. I have a 1973 Corvette for which I recently purchased a set of Boyd Coddington Crown Jewels (17x8) all the way around. I have had a terrible time finding the right size tires to put on them to fill out the wheel wells and not have any clearance issues. I puchased a set of Hankook 245/45-17's but they do not come close to filling in the wells. Any advice?

Also, I notice that many of your vettes appear to be riding lower...have you modified the suspensions? If so, with what kit? I was looking at the stage 4 kit mid america corvette since it said it would lower it an inch or so..... has anyone used this kit and if so...what did you think?

Thanks,

Jay

Many of the members on here have lowered their cars. I for one have to have the correct stance on a car or truck. Many of the vettes on here look like they could be 4 x 4 vehicles. I bought 9" bolts for my rear leaf and cut 1 coil off my stock springs in the front. From the floor to the lip of my fenders are 26 7/8 for the front and 27 1/8 for the rear. I am very happy with my stance now.

What color/kind are these. They look like gunmetal but reflect like chrome; yet they don't look chrome. I am very intrigued.
