    From the ground up, lets build a 79 el camino

    corvette wheels

    Corvette Guys has various wheels to fit older Corvettes with newer wheels. Check their website. For example here is a Z06 wheel with only a 2 1/8" backspace. You wouldn't need much of a wheel spacer to use these. http://www.corvetteguys.com/c5z06-chrom ... 17x95.html And you should only...
