57 wheels

[Ronald D, Rains]

I am trying to dress up my stock 57 for street driving, does anyone know if the old style Crager ss supersport wheels will fit?
thanks Ronnie

Yes, they will - and look great *NM*

Re: 57 wheels

agree with ron but wouldn't get any Cragars larger than 15 x 5 1/2. I've had 15 x 6 on one of our c-1s and wouild just barely rub the inner skirts on full left or right turns. mike

Before I got the restoration bug. I used to run 16 x 8 wheels with 225/55 goodyear gatorbacks on a '60. I also had 1 coil cut off the front springs to lower the nose. The only problem was it was a little tough to turn at a dead stop. It sure made a difference in handling.

Perhaps I am a purist but, I can't imagine anything looking better on a '57 Corvette than the stock wheels with stock wheelcovers and wide whitewalls.
