After grueling research for my 65 coupe I have found little info from wheel manufacturers etc... No one seems to have info for pre 68 corvette aftermarket wheel fitment on the net. Try this past link http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1039768 I hope this will get you there for I am not a computer wiz. If you cant find this thread, I'll transcribe some of the wheel tire sizes discussed in the forum. I'm looking at 17" tall x 7" wide American Racing Hopster with 215/50/17 tires with stock suspension.
