very nicely done - clean and mean looking - excellent wheel choice.

do the 275 rears clear the parking brake mount on the TA or did you have to relocate it? Thanks

I have offset trailing arms with the mount at the top of the TA's.

Here are a couple of pictures of the new rims and tires after I lowered it. Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures; it was starting to get dark.

I see a lot of nice looing c3's. I am looking at getting wheels for mine but cant find any good fitment charts. I have found a nice set but want to go wide in the back. They have them in 15x10's. Can I fit them with out changing the trailing arms? If so what back spacing am I looking at?
Thanks
Adam

If you go with a 10" wheel that only has 4" backspace, the wheel and tire will stick out way past the fender lip, so you may have to go with flares.
