[QUOTE="XFIRE82, post: 100898, member: 2292"] ...to my knowledge the turbine style wheels were a factory option on the 67 and down C2 cars. The only turbine style that were offered on a C3 was the 1982 Collector Edition ( pictured) which was a tribute to that C2 style wheel. They were 15x8 I believe and had 255/60/15 tires. 1980 -82 had the front wheel opening abit larger than the earlier C3's to accomodate the bigger tire , otherwise a 225/70/15 was the std size. I've seen where guys are using 235/60 on front and 255/60 in back on the early C3's cause of the front having clearance issues with the 255's . My 82 came with factory 255/60's and has no issues, but perhaps someone here with the early C3's can give you better advice from their own experience with different wheels/tires. Finding used 82 Collector Edition wheels is rare and pricey. But there are reproduction 67 style wheels and spinners available at places like Corvette Central, Ecklers etc that you can see online. Just be prepared they are not cheap. [ATTACH=full]7131[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
