C-4 Vette wheels

Got some C4 corvette wheels I want to use on my 80 Elky. 8.5 wide on the front, 9.5 on the back, rear backset requires a 2 inch spacer to get clearence from the frame, problem is this puts the outside about an inch outside the fender. Beside the obvious frame work anybody know any tricks to get em in the fenders?

Roll the fenders out? thats alot though. A good body shop might be able to get the fenders out there for less than the cost of doing frame work. Thats the only problem with G-bodies, other than that the platform is about perfect.

Re: C-4 Vette wheels

Thanks for the reply, guess I will have to flip a coin to see weather the frame goes in or the body goes out. In factory trim I guess an 8 inch wheel is the widest that will fit?
