C2 corvette Stocker question
 

On the 63-67 Corvettes,what is generally done to get a 9x30" slick to fit in the wheel well/chassis?
Now and in the past.
Is a solid axle now legal in Stock?
Thanks

yes the solid axle conversion is legal. and you have to keep the transverse mounted spring, and original control arms.

The only way I see it will fit is to jack up the rear high enough that the tire will stick out and under the quarter panel. I currently run a 28x9 slick on a 7" rim with a 4 7/8 back space and it just fits in the quarter panel. I also had to massage the front of the kick up area of the chassis where the trailing arm enters the chassis with a BFH. I dont like when they're too high in the rear.

I have a brand new short spring for the corvette conversion to solid axle. Pm me Dick Butler

I was able to get a 9" X 30" slick under my '80 Vette by just cutting the emergency brake cable tabs off the trailing arms. Was also able to use a 8" wide wheel. No problems after that.
