My ‘55.2 has Flat Out front cross member and Corvette IFS up front. The rear is a Mustang 8.8 rearend flipped on top of the stock leaf springs. The bed isn’t on so the rear height will be adjusted after that.

The vintage Torq Thrusts are 15” with 235/75 tires. Can’t use them because 15” won’t fit over the Corvette calipers, gotta have 16” at least.

The shiny wheels are 17x8 Boyd’s Smoothie II’s I got cheap via OfferUp. Tires are 235/55’s.
