Copied these pictures from a car on eBay. Red one was for sale but showed owners car next to it. Love the look but stuck on which one I like the best.

Re: LM's with aftermarket wheels
Here's a nice wheel calculator, on line and free. It lets you play around with different wheel and tire sizes. The stock Corvair offset (ET) is 1 inch (25.4mm). 25 mm is probably close enough. I hope to have my Minilites on the car soon.

Thanks. That one plus three others are linked in the technical section thread about rim and tire calculators for future reference.jrfox wrote:Here's a nice wheel calculator, on line and free.

Re: LM's with aftermarket wheels
I stayed old school with a set of 14" ralley wheels off of a 67 Nova. I liked the chrome accents and big chrome center cap. It was hard to find the 14" tires but I found BF Goodrich TA radials in 205/60R14.
