Re: Rims / Tires for my 1969 Corvette
 

Well I finally made the decision and the new rims / tires arrived yesterday. I couldn't wait to get them on the car; I think they look great and change the whole attitude of the car.

-----Dave,,,That look is outstanding. It appears that you went with all 8s or 8 and a halfs, correct???........Bill S

all 15 x 8 with 4" backspacing; wheels are 235 / 60 for the fronts and 255 / 60's on the rear.

Before you pull the trigger on a set of the new T70s, I just tried one on my '69 Vette & they won't clear the caliper without a spacer. I think the originals have a deeper cutout for clearance. It seems like the only new ones that will work are the "D"s.

Check the pictures above; they are the T70R's and they clear my calipers just fine. They are 15 x 8 with a 4&quot; backspacing
