17x8 = 4.5" BACKSPACING
17x9 = 5" BACKSPACING
I asked the guy what size tire he is running in the picture in the rear; he said 295/45/17.
1)would those wheels and tires fit on a stock suspension car? the car in the pic looks like it has a 4-link. has anybody else ran a 295 tire in the rear?? I was thinking 275 is a safer bet. (stock leafs and stock springs...for now  )
2)my car is a 69' camaro w/ a 67' 12-bolt. I heard they are a little bit narrower? what issues would this cause? |
Front will be tight with that b/s but will fit,I'd suggest a 245/45 front tire max...and remove the center fender bolt to gain a bit more clearance,that's usually where they'll rub w/4.5" b/s on a 8" wide wheel.
I can barely squeeze a 285/40 rear on a 9.5" wide wheel so I'd give up the 295 idea and run a 275/40 on that 9" wheel,much better fit.
