Did this ever get tried out. . .I've got some 17x9.5's that I'm going to be putting on my '67 Firebird.

I'm getting ready to take the measurements to figure out what thickness wheel adapters/spacers I need to get them to fit correctly. They are the 4th-gen F-Body Camaro SS or C4 Corvette GS-style 5-spoke wheels that I picked up as a really good deal. . .the backspacing on the rear wheels is like 7 3/8" and my guesstimate was that I would need an ~2" spacer/adapter in the back and my research has said around a 1.7" adapter/spacer in the front. . .these are just temporary wheels/tires while I'm figuring out what 18" rims I want to buy. . .they were only $500 for the set of 4 with good rubber so I couldn't pass them up.

Thanks!
