Default 16 Inch wheels besides ccw's for et streets.

Hey,

I need 16 Inch wheels besides ccw's for et streets! Is there anything else? I did some searches and couldnt find anything. Does WELD or anyone make anything that works for the corvettes? I just need rears.

Thanks for all the help guys..

Maybe F-Body tires would work?

From what I have seen with any 16 inch wheel (even F/Body) you have to notch the control arms to get the rim to fit...17's will fit no prob. They do make 17 inch ET streets...

Do you have an upgraded clutch and rear parts, and if so what all have you done to beef up the rear end ????

You can just by the CCW rears. I have the centerline wheel and you have to grind a little and hammer the ball joint cover a little, no big deal. I heard you have to even do that sometimes with the ccw's.

Actually , you can't. John won't sell just rear wheels with ET Streets on them. If you want ET Streets , you have to buy the fronts too because it's too dangerous to run ET Streets rears with radial fronts.
