Thanks. I was wondering how the 245's would look on 8.5 width rims, I want to run staggered tires when I need to replace my 255/60's.

Torque Thrusts are great, and actually my favorite wheel of all time. Except..... Everyone has them on their C3. Seems that 90% of C3s have either TT or Rallys. I love em both, but a little overplayed IMO. I went the other way and found some restored Westerns. Vintage and era correct, but not Rallys or TT. If those are your two choices, slotted mags all day long.

I've had slots on another car, loved the look but hated the polishing. Also, I think of slots as more of a 60's style. Love my 17" Torque Thrusts
