the ones on it are 2 1/4", I just sent those back and ordered 2" for it to tuck them in a little more. I think it will look better once the suspension settles down a bit, its been on jack stands for 3 years.

3 years! you get that thing on the road to help settle them.can i see a shot that shows how much they stick out with the 2 1/4s, i think some argent silver c5 zo6s would look perfect on that car.i had someone chop some c6 zo6 wheels on my car and i think im gonna get them ill put a pic up.

Love the car, love those wheels. But I don't like those wheels on that car! Needs more spokes, or thinner spokes IMO.

id say if you lower the car to fill in the fender wells, then it should look pretty good i think

I actually like it a lot. I have some 17in Cragar SS's on my car and have been wanting to sell them. Could you give me a little more info on the set up. Like what spacers, the clearance, etc.

I just got 2" spacers on and it tucks wheels in more and looks better. no pics yet with new spacers, I got the spacer/adaptors from Skulte. With this wheel you can'y really go with anthing under a 2" spacer. As far as clearance goes, its tight and I won't really be able to tell if this is gonna work very well and have enough clearance until I drive the car. That may be a while...
