Excuse me for asking a possibly stupid question. I love the concept of earlier bodies (C1/C2) on frames with later suspension. Invariably, they all have the later wheels. To me, this is like fingernails being dragged on a blackboard. What is the latest brake set up that will accomodate C1/C2 wheels?

Re: Brakes/Wheels
pete: if you wish to use a c-4 or c-5 front and rear suspensions under a c-1 or c-2 body, only way you can make the wheels look period to the body is by having a set of rims made to order. there is an outfit in calif that can make you a set. i've misplaced their name but i looked into having a set of c-1 rims fabricated when i built my 61 bodied 92 ZR-1. ended up using the zr-1 rims and tires but agree with you it'd look better with dog dishes.Perhaps someone on this forum can help with the calif wheel fabricator. good luck, mike -
Was It AFS, Inc. in Canoga Park, Mike?...
They make alloy wheels for other applications, like ZR-1 style wheels with correct offsets to fit 84-87 C4s without adapters. Last telephone number I have for them is 818-340-6181.Comment
