I am on the market for aftermarket wheels for my 82. Could someone tell me what offset and backspacing numbers I need to know so I don't need to make any modifications to the stock suspension or brakes. I plan on installing 8" wide 19s or 20s for show.
Thanks!

A larger rim will affect ride control your shocks and springs will work harder becouse you have less tire ,it will take more power to stop .but they look really trick ,depending on tire size could also off set your spedo reading ...........

Vette(s): 1979 Black on Black, heavily modified. 1975 Orange, bone stock (for now).
0 offsset, 4" Backspacing and 27" diameter will be perfect. I have 20" all around...
