<VV> [FC] 17" or 18" wheels on an FC

[Joel Rushworth]

7" width in either size with the right offset is your best bet.  

Good discussion here:

The Westbrier runs 17x8, but clearances at the rear is supertight, off by a
1/2" either way and it wouldn't work

Here's my Rampy, on 17x7's and 2" drop spindles in the front

My 65 Brier is back on the road after and engine rebuild and install of 65
FC differential. (now have complete 65 FC power train)

In line for paint right after my 82 vette gets done at the bodyshop and I
want to find new wheels.
Wondering if anyone has put 17" or 18" wheels on an FC.
What wheels fit?
got Pics?
