Now that's a big wheel! Now I need some fancy brakes...

What do ya think? Look too big? 20X8 on the front and 20X9.5 for the rear. I hope I don't twist the centers out of em... :crazy

Awesome looking wheels Frank. I can't say if they look too big without seeing them inside the wheelwells with tires on them. I do think that the really big 23" and the like are pushing the edge of being too out of proportion. They are starting to look cartoonish. I think the maximum size for good looks is bound to settle in around the 19-20 inch area.

Thanks Tom,

I’ve got 255/35ZR/20's front and 295/40ZR20's for the rear. I wished I had someone in the Syracuse area like Chris (69myway) that was a wiz with fiberglass (Guys like that make it look so easy!) I'm almost ready to set the body on the frame and I'd like to get the basic body work & flares installed before I do. :crazy

Chris is amazing. He is almost the Martha Stewart of the Corvette world. Give him a Saturday and he will build you a complete Corvette body to your specs from scratch and never break a sweat. :L :L

Tom you are too funny.

I like those wheels, and they will be a real eye catcher. Too bad we don't have a huge selection of aftermarket brakes for the C3. I would like to see a set of cross drilled/slotted 14" rotors and massive aluminum calipers stuffed up in that extra space.

WooHoo!!

Herb Lumpp makes adapter brackets to fit Wilwood calipers onto C3s.

See http://ep.com/brad/Corvette/Wilwood/ and email Brad Waller brad@ep.com for more info.
