C2 (1963-1967) Chevrolet Corvette Wheel & Tire Packages - Wheels & Tires

Few classic sports cars are as iconic and rare as C2 Sting Rays. With their first year of production in 1963, second-generation Corvette models could please both the practical driver and racing enthusiast thanks to decorative hood vents, 250 horsepower, a split-back window, and lightweight advancements.

C2 Corvette variants underwent significant changes before the final run ended in 1967, and this evolution is part of what makes these vehicles so collectible today.

Anyone who owns a C2 Sting Ray knows Chevrolet decked these vehicles out in chrome accents, and this styling detail applies to factory wheels as well. The right set of rims and tires can transform your driving experience.

Top Flight Automotive is your source for aftermarket wheels that help you achieve a stock or custom appearance. Whether your original wheel assemblies have cosmetic damage or you’re after a fresh look that complements your personality, we have the solutions for your driving applications.

The Importance of Upgrading C2 Wheels and Tires

Wheels and tires contribute to your cabin experience. Drivers rely on these installations to keep them confident behind the wheel, as factors such as wheel material, tire condition, and dimensions influence reaction times and feel. Equipping your C2 Corvette with compatible wheels and tires ensures your vehicle drives as Chevrolet intended, and you can stay in control of your Corvette.

Now that the C2 generation is over 50 years old, it’s vital to inspect your wheels and tires for deterioration. It is possible to upgrade installations for safety while keeping style in mind. Top Flight Automotive will help you get the most out of your classic ride with C2 Corvette wheel and tire packages that provide everything necessary to mount upgraded assemblies.

When Should I Upgrade C2 Wheels?

Wheels and tires provide several warning signs when they need replacement. Your vehicle’s wheels and tires should promote steady handling and fuel efficiency when in working order. Common indicators you need to replace your C2 rims include:

  • Wheels appear warped or bent.
  • Tires are losing air, but no puncture is present.
  • Your car pulls to one side.
  • You notice excessive cabin vibration while driving.

When Should I Replace C2 Tires?

Vehicle tires call for replacement long before wheel assemblies. If you recently acquired a C2 Corvette, check for the following issues to see if your installations need attention:

  • Tires have bald spots in the treading.
  • Treading shows uneven wear.
  • Rubber surfaces have small cracks.
  • Tire repairs do not stop leaks.

About OEM C2 Corvette Wheels

Most C2 Corvettes that left the Chevrolet factory between 1963 and 1966 featured Kelsey Hayes “knock-off” wheels. Rather than using a series of bolts, knock-off wheels fasten directly to the hub and require a lead hammer for installation. Traditional knock-off wheels had decorative spinners toward the center of the rim, and manufacturers designed the technology to tighten as drivers moved forward.

No matter if you want knock-off style replicas or bolt-on wheels, Top Flight Automotive carries aluminum builds in 15-inch-by-6-inch sizes for an authentic presentation.

1967 C2 Corvette Bolt-On Wheel and Tire Packages

By 1967, GM pulled wheel spinners from production to comply with new federal laws. Their solution was a five-bolt wheel pattern design and a center cap that covers the middle section. The 1967 Corvette was the only second-generation model year to have bolt-on wheels manufactured by Kelsey-Hayes. This innovative mounting concept would become the industry standard years later.

If you want to replace the factory wheels on your late-model C2, Top Flight Automotive will send you second-generation bolt-on replicas for your favorite ride. Use our C2 bolt-on wheel and tire kits to respond to wear and tear after years of driving on major roads and the track. Our bolt-on offerings are compatible with original hardware from the 1960s, and you can request replacement center caps with your order for an additional fee.
