I'm considering a pair of these wheels myself. What offset did you have to get to fit those 17x8's all around without rubbing? Will those fit my stock front and rear end?
i love this and if you don't mind i'm going to follow your lead on my 75 mercury comet they look great how is the clearance all around on your car did you have to change anything
Looks Good!! They do look sharp....I am curious also about the back space and if they rub at all up font...I am trying to figure out what size to go with and these look awesome.
Sorry it took me so long to respond guys, but they are 0 offset wheels. This gives them a backspacing of 4.5". I have not had any problems with rubbing at all. They come close to the front valence but they do clear it. And my suspension is 620lb front springs with 1.5 coils cut off and factory replacement 4 leaf springs in the back.
Looks great. thanks for the pic. I've got a set of 03 Mach 1 wheels that I've thought about useing.....but I know I need spacers with them. After seeing your car I might get the spacers and try them.
looks good man, I have a very similar wheel, and only went with the ones I have due to the hyper silver finish.. There is a wheel that looks like both ours, but in 17x9..but i lost the link to them :-( it had allen wrench studs or w/e for centercap vs my pushin style on my Rocket racing rims
Not to bring up a dead thread, but could you go taller than 26” on these 255/45/17’s in rear? Like a 27-28”? Or would it rub inside arch near rear seat bulge? I’m running 3.70 gears and a taller tire would effectively bring me back down to around a 3.55 with only changing tire size. I was under impression 255 on a 4.5” BS wouldn’t fit our cars and to stick to 235-245... any thoughts? Anyone running a 28” wide rear on a 4.5” backspacing? Thanks in advance.
