Default Need some input...

Hope all is well...
I'm looking for a set of starter wheels for my '66 Chevelle as I begin the project. Came across a clean set of 17 x 8.5 with the 4.75 GM bolt pattern. It's got a 4" backspacing...am I good to pull the trigger on these? What size spacer would I require if any. They're coming off a GMC Senoma.

Thanks in advance...
J

Fronts will be sticking out the side of the car. 4" BS on a 8.5 is not near enough. A spacer would make the problem worse by pushing the wheel further out.

Thanks for the reply Justin...Could you refer a (proper sizing) starter set-up for me, so I may clear the new disc brake set-up? Looking for a basic/classic torque thrust or similar wheel.

Once again...Thanks!
