Vette(s): 1972 Coupe Anything, but Stock and more mods to come! SSBC Force 10 Brakes, 3.73, TH350, 355 CID, Rack and Pinion, Vette Brakes suspension front and rear.

There is already a software that exists.  I used it to figure out which wheels to put on my Vette.  I also used the companies tire mount-mate to figure out my backspacing and tire size.  Just expensive for the average joe.  its geared more for tire/wheel shops that sell that stuff everyday.

I agree, you can't go wrong with old school Cragar SS.

WOWSERS!!! What a sharp ride !!! Love the wheels for sure!!! I am in love with the old school Cragar SS and if it wasn't for the fact that I just this spring got the factory aluminum wheels for my 76 I would be buying a set myself.

[/QUOTE] Thanks.I was in a hurry to get rubber on them,so I went with four 245-45-17" Kumhos.I think I may go as large as possible in back, later.

Vette(s): 79 L82 auto other then the indego blue paint,headers with chambered exhust and rims its all unrestored original with 68000 mi
Vermit I got those same rims on mine but they don't look right with retro look of your vett. Just remember chrome looks better longer than polished.

They are a set of four 17"x8" polished aluminum American Eagles with 4" BS. GM bolt pattern-5 x 4.75".They are AR TorqueThrust 2 lookalikes that I paid $860 for with shipping on Ebay.The only time they were even out of their original box,was when I put 2 on the back of my vette when it was on a lift,just to look....no lugnuts were used.   Lets talk!
