https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...9b5862d0da.jpg I like the ride and appearance of 15s but the better tires available in larger diameter do well in corners. |

What are specs on your wheels/tires and did you have any mod's to make the wheels and tires fit? Any spring, trailing arm or other changes?
parking brake cable and switched to a narrow rear spring. Don't remember the rear back spacing, front is 4". |

I have the original wheels in storage, but wanted something different. I ended up with wire wheels. They are 15's. Front rubber is 255/60/15 and the rears are 275/60/15.

I think i need to lower it a bit
|
Yes you do. :D

Yea i went from 15x8 with 235 on the front and 255 on the back to 17x8 with 225 on the front and 235 on the back. They ride a lot nicer but needs to be lower so will get 8 inch bolts 4 the back and see what i can do with the front. |

Did you have any spacer, t-arm, spring or brake mods to make them fit?

They look great! Can you fit a full sized (255 60 15) spare (Original Rally rims) in the spare wheel well on a 1972 C3? TIA

New Shoes for the C3KR
In the process of doing a lot of things, but since I'm working on brakes and suspension, I didn't want to put the old wheels and tires back on. 15x8 US Mags Indy U101 with 275.60.15 Cooper Cobra Radial GT's, with their billet spinners in the rear. I just stuck the other rear tire up front to see what it would look like. Cooper doesn't make a 260.60.15 anymore, so 255's up front will have to suffice.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...dd0f532062.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...8365b2756e.jpg New shoes... 17x8 with 4" Backspacing on the fronts running Nitto 555 255/50ZR17 and 18x9.5 with 5" backspacing on the rear running Nitto 555 285/40ZR18's. I ended up putting on 1/4" spacers on the rear to clear the e-brake cable. I needed to remove the e-brake brackets as well. They will be relocated to the top of the Trailing Arm, and at that point, I will probably be able to get away with no spacers. |
