I was wondering what sizes of wheels and tires Mark used when her built her, I know they're ZR-1 rims, maybe with spacers, I was thinking of these for my car, I loved they way it looked when he built it, Maybe Charlie will see this and can go look for me, hint, hint!!!, but if anybody knows, I like to know to, Thanks Steve


Or does anybody know of a good Corvette Forum to find a set of them, Thanks

I think SLP sells/produces ZR1s. A lot of guys with fourth gens run them.

The Red Witch uses factory ZR1 Corvette rims, with a mini tubbed rear wheel well area, and (I think) a wider than stock rear.

The front uses a modified C4 spindle that was very reworked to get more track width, to make up for the crazy offset. The subframe rails were also slightly reworked to allow the 275 front tire combo.

Thanks Tyler, I remembered the spindle ordeal, are you still trying to reproduce them?? but I didn't know about the rear, I do remember alot of work going into the car, I don't have any of my old magazines anymore to look at, I don't really want to do the spacer thing, I don't think there that safe, so, I think I might go the Billet rallys or save my money for the Fiskes, thanks Steve

Red Witch is in Detroit right now. Rear wheels are ZR1 but I think the fronts are something like 97 SS Camaro

Thanks Charlie, I knew you'd chime in sooner or later, what's going on in Detroit, besides cold, Thanks Steve
