Default My '68 LS2 needs your help.. need vette wheels to borrow

Front wheels/tires or just wheels and I will toss on some beat tires. My front Forgelines need to go in so they can be redone to fit the new suspension. I would like to test fit some C5 fronts just to make sure all is good and see I can maybe go larger on my tire/wheel size. They would need to be 18's.

The front of the car is getting a complete C5 suspension. I would like to run 275 tires but I am not sure they will fit and force me down to 245's.

Anyone have a pair to spare for few weeks? It's a long shot but I thought I would ask

You can borrow my 18's if it is not going to be too a long time. They are 00 18's with 285/35 tires. I don't drive my car much.

I got some you can borrow. I have some Y2K's on right now but I am going to take them off this weekend to replace them with some ZR1's.

They are the OEM Y2K's. 245 front 275 rear. 17"/18"

not to go off topic but I got stuck on your page in aww over this picture...




whoever just FILLED that with bondo should have there fingers lopped off so they can't rip of anyone else with their shotty bodywork....

btw...that is one awesome car...the way it turned out, its scary that its looked so good w/ online pictures...

after your purchase do you think you got ripped on the car?

Yes, but that's life and I ended up turning out a better car and making a small profit..

Would need them in about a week and for about three weeks.. Also, since I am running 14" rotors I need 18" wheels. I only need the front. Do you know if they have the same offset on the back wheel?

I really need 18" front with 245's (in a perfect world).. Im not sure the 275's would fit. I will check.

Again, I am trying to figure out if the front wheels and back C5 wheels have the same offset.
