So, how many c3's in the Syndicate these days?

And it's a nice one.

Looking good!

Only 'cause it just had a bath (note the garden hose in the pic) 

There were several C3's on the Rainbow Run, one had a Syndicate sticker on the back window, looked to be a late '70's car, tried to find the owner to ask about his wheels

[682XLR8]

The only two 68's on the RR and we got to park side by side

[tunaman]

Not quite true... There was at least one more that I saw (DDAWSON on CF), but yours and the green one parked together looked so sweet!

Dawson's is a 69...close though first time I've seen his car in person, looked real good but we were on the road at that time, never got a chance to see it up close

That green 68 parked next to mine had a set of 17" Torq Thrusts that looked good, since I'm in the market for a new set of wheels, that is going a long way towards my decision on what to get....ain't made up my mind yet though

i say do 17's or 18's with lopro tires.

Yeah, been looking at both sizes....I like the TT's and the Coy's in the polished finish...I'm stuck on tires, too many sizes

[ZRWON]

Tough decision with all the choices out there. I do agree with Daniel though, 17"-18" would look nice

Thanx for the pics Daniel

As I said earlier, been checking out both Torq Thrust and Coys in 17"-18"

TT's w/ the back spacings and widths I want are available in 17"....not so for the 18"

Coys have the back spacings in 18" off the shelf w/o getting into custom sizes, but the width stops at 17x8"

What width can you run?

[682XLR8]

According to the boys over at CF (after many searches and looking at related threads) I see I can run an 18x9.5" rim w/ 5.5" bs along w/ a 255 tire.....won't know for sure till I get out and measure

[682XLR8]

OK, jacked up the back of the 68, pulled the wheels and did some measuring....an 18x9.5 wheel w/5.5 bs will fit, not much room left over but it'll fit..

what size tires like a 265/40/18? Chrome?

Also check with big O tire in downtown Danville talk to Jason and mention Hooked On Driving. I got a good discount from them on a couple tires for the burban couple weeks ago.

Use a wheel offset calculator...

Thnx for the info Daniel....was thinking of a 265 or 275....something of a larger diameter than what I have now (235-60-15) and help fill the wheel well....may have to lower the back end a bit more but with the added height from a slightly larger diameter tire this should not be an issue....going w/ polished aluminum, never cared for chrome wheels on a C3. Got more measuring/searching to do yet before I settle on anything

Scott, thanks for the links took a look and they will help
