The "Black Menace" is pretty forlorn, LOL

Decided to propose a change in wheels already. Unfortunately these are the "wrong" ones but I'm going with them, anyhow, Looks like I'll need a 1/2" spacer on the rear. Part of this is because I'm running a Versailles 9" rear, which is a bit wider than a Dart rear.

I already have the front / rear stud situation worked out. These are the "later" wheels and have a different offset from the rears (the black ones), which were a "bolt on."

The photo of the Dart is late this summer---14" ETs on the front, 17" Stang wheels on the back

Those look like the first gen Bullitt style wheels...17"x8", should be with a 5.72" backspace--even with the wider axle, you still need spacers, or is it to keep the wheels off the springs?
