Dedicated Day 2 Thread

Here is my questions. When are 8" wheels justified?

I mean a 255/60/15 isn't really big enough, maybe a 275/60/15 would be. So an L60 would also justify an 8" wheel, but I don't think they are used nearly that often when people put 8" wheels on out back.

Your car looks great John. What tires sizes are you running up front and back? The wider wheel dish is cool.

I have 245 60 15 on rear and 215 70 15 on the front before I put the cragars on I had 15x8 rallys on the rear and 15x7 rallys on the front with no wear problem on theese tires.

Wheelhop (Jim Hanke) wanted me to post Andrew MacTavish's rendering of what Jim's Chevelle will look like when it's done!

Olympic Gold under Dover white with a Stinger ? I don't think there is a better combo for a 69. or is that the 70 Corvette gold

Either way, that is very C L

Here it is with the white wheel wells and Hooker Super-Comp Fender Well headers.

Might be a slight case of the older you get the cheaper things were. This car had a 327, M21 4-speed and a 4.11 posi. Sold for much more than a grand in 1971!

Nice view, nice car. Right across from 7/11. Just discovering them about 1970ish.

Yes, your dad's was worth more than 1K but in general, a decent '57 hardtop stocker/driver could be had for 1K or thereabouts back then.
