<VV> Ultimate Wheels on a Corvair

[Western Canada CORSA]

I've still got the magazine somewhere.  If you really need to know how it
was done I can see if I can dig it out.  I believe they had to modify the
rear suspension to make the 10" wide wheels fit.
 
IMHO, 16's are as far as I'd go.  With the 18's it starts to look like a Hot
Wheels toy and the 'vair suspension was designed with some of the compliance
coming from the tire's sidewalls.
 
Here's Rob Hall's LM turbo coupe sporting some 16" Saltflats.

OTOH, (being one myself) anything that gets a younger person interested in
'vairs is worth encouraging.
 
Regards,
Joel

Thanks Joel.  My oldest son sent the photo to me--now he wants to do
it(??!!)  I need to talk to that boy.
