Wheels look great, but please get the right sized meats on them. Personally I like a bit of sidewall, gives it that dragster look.

If i put the right size tire on, it will both rub on the inside and stick out on the outside. so there is no point in tubbing because i dont want to spend a grand plus paint for fender flares right now.

I figured as much. Did you piece these together or find them on another car and got lucky enough they clear? Not often you see a deep dish on a vette. Your probably the only one

OP, this is what you were supposed to do. Looks a million times better, right? I guess you didn't take a survey first, haha.
