Re: Corvette subframe

Okay, Part II! To set my plan in motion. Here are the two donor cars. Picking up this '67 coupe in spring. Just bought this 1985 Corvette C4 roller. Wanted a C5, but are too much $$$ for me. The C4 wheelbase will need to be stretched to 'Vair length. Anyway, will be knee deep when the weather warms ...

Re: Corvette subframe

SWC Corvair Purists look away! Just saw this thread, couldn't resist posting. I have had a similar idea for a long time for my "Dream" Corvair. Here is the basic concept for my Super Wide Corvair (SWC). LM 'Vair body, C4 or C5 Corvette frame, aluminum LS V8, Porsche Boxster 6 speed transax...

Re: Where to buy rims?

I had no problem finding 15" tires. There are still alot of choices, at least around here. The only thing a little tough is matching up different sizes for front & rear. I bought cheapie Fusion Touring tires, 205 60 15 & 225 60 15. BF Goodrich Radial TA's are still a popular choice in 1...

Re: Max Tire Size on 15" Rims?

This owner of this nice Corsa was definitely "swimming upstream" with his wheel tire combo. I thought, "man that sits" nice, and it does, but has an unusual (for today) setup. The fronts were 14" with 195 70 14's ! Rear were 15's with 215 60 15's (At least this is what I rem...

Re: Max Tire Size on 15" Rims?

I just put new wheels & tires on my '69 Monza.

Front are 15X7 w/205 60 15's
Rear are 15X8 w225 60 15's

No rubbing or clearance as of yet.

I have seen 235's on the back, seem to work fine if the suspension is tight.

Hope this helps!

Just Brought Home 180 HP Turbo Engine!

Tickled to death to find this 180 HP Turbo fairly close to home. Very complete. Will be going through over next winter as money allows.

New to turbos so there will be questions!
