James’ 1974 W200 build

The wheels that you posted say they have a 4-in backspacing which means 6 in towards the outside maybe that's a little bit of the problem of it rubbing the fenders? Of course if you go in too much it starts rubbing the frame...
I was thinking some 16s or 17s with a 35 12.5... that's definitely the style of rim I like the old school White...
I really think the problem was those SUPER wide 35’s. I mean 16.5 inches wide that’s pretty damn wide. Lol. Your standard run of the mill 35 incher would fit. I didn’t want 35’s because I have 4.10 gears. I think 33’s and 4.10’s are a good match.

When I get some cash or another side job, I really, most definitely want these 17x10 Mag wheels. Just my favorite.

And oh my god the price just shot up $50 bucks a wheel since I checked a month ago. Dammit!! What the hell?!
