      2008 Corvette Wheels on 69' Fbody???

      Has anyone put the new 08' Corvette wheels/tires on a 1st gen F-body? Will they fit on stock suspension and/or would it look right? Doesnt look like there is enough offset on them? I can get a set cheap for my 69' Bird. Thanks.

      I asked about putting them on a 68 camaro, they will have to be used with an adapter. Bolt pattern is different.

      Tyler pulled it off with C4 wheels https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=43322 but I'm not wild about the lack of dish that gives a musclecar it's look.

      Bolt pattern is the same. It's the backspacing that's causing the need for adapters. I've seen the C6 wheels on a '68 before. They look pretty good, actually.

      Yeah I definitely wont even think about going that route. No lip/dish = fugly. And the 08's dont have much dish either! Thanks for the link.

      There are some aftermarket c6 style 'deep dish' rims on the aftermarket. --

      Thanks Zbugger, I was told by a friend of mine that the bolt holes were different. Maybe I should make sure I've got my ducks in a row before opening my 2 cents...
