HI,
I just built a stock TT-02RR. I got the newest Protoform C8 Corvette body for it. The wheels are too narrow for the body, but it works okay.
Is there a way to make the track wider? I was trying to find off-set wheels but came up with nothing.
Is your Corvette body 190mm or 200mm width? (you'll want a 190mm width body ideally, but if its 200mm you can still work w/ it).
You can widen the track width of your car using wider wheel hexes. Your kit comes w/ some in various sized widths (I think), otherwise you can order wider ones. Stock kit is usually 5mm width, you can get wider wheel hexes which will offset your tires.

Also, are you using the kit wheels and tires? they may be a bit too narrow looking for the body you chose. Most kit wheels are 26mm (I am guessing that is what you have)? Corvette's have wider tires in the rear, ...not sure what your using your car for (bashing or racing), but you can check out or think about putting some of these on your 'vettte (they are wider than the stock wheels):

Note: you'll have to get a set for the rear which are 31mm and a set for the front which are 26mm

There are probably a lot more options for wheels/tires as well in wider sizes.
hope this helps
