1987 C4 Tire Suggestions

DDMMCPO · 07-24-2002, 12:28 AM

Greetings All,

Been on the sidelines here in Japan for a year. Coming back to the States in about two weeks and will go get my vette shortly after that. I've been considering upgrading my tires and wheels to 17"-ers. Any suggestions? (digital photos would be GREATLY appreciated). Thanks. :seeya

for wheels, the best choice is http://www.afswheels.com
AFS come with the correct offsets for 84-87s and you wont have to worry about spacer plates. They also have wheel/tire packages.

My tires are Michelin Pilots and my wheels are Konig Monsoons....and I'm happy.

Good luck!

Thanks for the response Vader86,

Any idea why the URL for AFS wheels is no worky? Could just be our fine Navy LAN. Take it easy.

Check out this pic below of my '87. I was able to use 315/35-17ZR's and have it look right by using the '89+ offset. Wheels are ROH 17" x 9.5". If you don't use this much rear offset, the best you can do is 275's.
BTW, nothing rubs or drags.
