I'M CURRENTLY RUNNING THE STOCK 15X8 RIMS WITH 255X60X15 AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO GOING TO A SET OF 17X8 AMERICAN 200S WITH 245X45X17

IS ANYONE RUNNING SOMETHING LIKE THIS ?

SOME ARTICLES MAKE IT SOUND DOABBL WHILE OTHERS MAKE IT SOUND AS IF MODIFICATIONS ARE NEEDED.

THANKS FOR THE INPUT

Mike,

I don't think that your survey will return the results you are looking for. The survey selections should actually be answers to a general question (if that makes sense) which will allow the responder to select 1 (and only 1!). To get the results you're looking for in this survey you would actually have to set up 3 separates surveys since you're asking 3 questions.

Check out Corvette Fever May 2003 issue. They did an article called "Re-tire your C3".

I'm not sure about your other questions ,but youve got to be careful about offsetting wheels on vettes.on rear wheels ,I run 255/70/15 on my 78 and there is minimle clearance from the trailing arms,you can go with offset arms and gain some room.on the other hand off setting them outward will put undo pressure on the outer axle bearings,and if youve ever replaced thm b-4 you'll know it's not much fun,and expensive.The last thing you want is bearing failure out on the road .

I'M NEW AT THIS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT
THANKS'
MIKE

Hello Mike,

Call American Racing and ask about C-3 fitment. The major concern is to make sure the spokes clear the calipers. The folks at American Racing should be able to tell you.

I worked on a 67 that had these wheels on them some time ago. They were fine, however that was many years ago and A.R. may have changed the thickness of the pad eliminating the required clearance.

Good luck,

Alex

I GIVE THEM A CALL

THANKS FOR THE INFO
