The car is going to be candy red with (for now) a carbon fiber hockey stripe and tail panel. When I say carbon fiber, I obviously mean painted to look like it. The guy painting it did some stripes on his car like that and it looks very cool. It is the same guy that painted Trush's Camaro. I'm not 100% doing that, but some kind of black on the car to bring out the black wheels. Also painting calipers,engine covers,air intake tube etc. body color. Yeah, as for the tires rubbing I'm basically going to get it down as much as I possibly can and still be drivable. I'll probably have it lower than "drivable" at Autorama if I make it there. Gotta look cool ya know.

Wow man!

This is looking good!

I'm happy to hear your 345's clear. I just sold my (completely gutted and no limits on tire size because of such) 69 coupe and got a 'vert instead. I was afraid of clearance issues with the DSE tubs but you make it sound good! How wide are your rear tires? Mine are 14.1 on a 13 inch rim (they are 20's tough).

I had them and kept them from the coupe project. I spoke with DSE about fitment but they have their reserves so real world data would be welcomed!

Also, i'm looking to buy a Z06 set up and Forgeline wheels. You seem to have no clearance issues with the wheels and calipers (which are thick) ...
BOZE are nice too!.

Definetely keep us posted...With more pics!

Default Nice!
Very Nice!

Those Boze Mesh rims look GREAT! I've been looking at getting a set of Boze Black Satin Toxics' for my car.

Nothing like a nice set of wheels and tires to make a car come alive!

My rims are 11 1/2 wide which actually, I think, help the tires fit in the well. The overall width measurement of the tire mounted on the rim is 13". I don't think there's any way to fit a 13" wide rim with a 14" overall width tire. The 11 1/2 work great and the tire mounts and looks perfect, no issues whatsoever. If you are going to run the ZO6 brakes in the back with the ZO6 parking brake, The guy that is doing all my fab work can make a mount for the rears that mount everything very nicely. It was quite the job but now that he's done one, it shouldn't be a problem.

The wheels looks awesome. I am running a set of Boze Hi Octanes and I have been very happy with the build quality and the high level of customer service.

Wow! Those are great! And it will be red! Can't wait to see how that comes out, I like the blacked out wheels on a red car!
