Anyone can guess.

Can anyone figure out the rim (name/size) tire (size) and any modifications made for fitment? I've been going back through the forums and came across this.

Thanks,

Re: Anyone can guess.

look like c6 wheels, you need spacers, and sheetmetal work would depend on how wide the wheels are

almost looks like a 18 front and 19 rear, since the sidewalls seem to be a bit different, maybe not

Sheet metal as in rolling the lips of fenders? If it is indeed 19's and 18's wonder what size the tires are?

From what I researched I think they are 18's all the way around but I don't know how wide. Anybody got any hints?

Re: Anyone can guess.

there is no way anybody would tell that from those pics.

maybe a 9.5 or 11" rim on the rear, and maybe a 9.5 wheel on the front, but thats just based on typical vette widths, if thats even the wheel.

That's the wheel I've been thinking it is. Would the 11 inch stick out further on the back?

depends on how much sheetmetal work you do and how you setup the spacers.
