Wheels, considering going 17"

RedlineDuster said
Here are some test fitment pics of the a 17x9 Cobra Wheel on my Duster.

I don't imagine I'll run these as they are on my Mustang right now, but thougt I'd offer the pics for digestion.

I will point out one thing, the wheels that DartCustom360 posted do differ from the ones that flyboy01 did. The ond DartCustom360 posted a pic is a polished/chrome version on the one in my attached pics. The on flyboy01 shows is a 17x8. The 17x9 has 6.12 backspacking while the other has 5.72. I only point this out because you have to be careful when fitting these wheels. The ones on my car were as close to the tierod end as I care for it to be. Also the tire is a 275/40-17 Falken Azenis RT 615

Yes i made a boo boo on the pic i couldnt find one of the wheels i have on google, The clearance i see on my dart the 17x8 is about it for me to clear the upper control arm without rubbing at full lock to lock and suspension travel with my wilwood front brakes,I also need to say my car has a B body rear so it is also wider in the rear then a conventional A body rear and takes a 5.5 or more backspaced wheel.The center axle hub in the rear is also a tad larger then the wheels are and i had to gently have the center enlarged about a 1/16 of an inch.I will post some pictures in a bit after i clean the car up a little its pretty dirty :sad1:
