By chance does anybody know specs on a 1979 c3 Vette's offset for both front and rear setting.

I want to go with 17 x 8 in the front & 17 x 9.5 for the rear but I am not too sure exactly what to look at or what to look for... Could anybody help me get the right offset for both front and rear settings or some recommendations...?

I am lost and don't know exactly what to use. I would appreciate the help!

- :patriot: Thanks!

if they dont have exactly what you want ,email there tech ask for spacing info they will be glad to help i think the spacing on my wheels was 41/4 on 8in

Ok thanks ! I will def. ask about that on the spacing because i've read a lot about issues on the spacing. And well i don't want to waste any money and have my tires rub or just any ugly look to my vette...

Thanks for the help! i appreciate it! :D

the front is the one to watch, they will rub on inside when you turn hard good luck keep the shiney side up ,rubber side down!

Yeah my tires that I have right now are 10'' wide so it rubs bad on hard turns... So I know im gonna go with an 8 on front wheels or maybe a 9 because i don't want the car to lose the MEAN look from upfront... It would look dumb with skinny's I think... idk...

Try Summit Racing.Good pricing and delivery.

Got to Tirerack.com I think they have what you are looking for.

try wheels for less.com

WheelsForLess is definietly the place where i'm going to purchase the rims because they are cheaper and also have more of a variety with free shipping... so I probably will purchase the 17x9.5 for the front and 17x11 for the back... Well till of course I put some $ to the side... Thanks again for the websites it made it much easier especially that it gave me the specific tire that would fit the corvette! Thanks Again!

I just bought a set of American Racing Torque Thrust wheels for my 1980 Vette. See below.

CORVETTE C3 68-82
Rim Information
Number of Bolts: 5 per Rim
Rim Width: 8
Bolt Pattern (millimeters): 5x120.65 (5x 4 3/4")
Rim Diameter (inches): 17
Offset: 0
Hope this helps.

I put 17x9's all around- 4" backspace in the rear and 4-1/2 in front. I did add a 3/8 spacer on the rear because the tires (295/40's) were close enough to the trailing arms it made me uncomfortable. Adding the 3/8 spacer, you can throw a cat thru there now. Not TT wheels, but spacing should work out the same.
