YET another will it fit..... steelies on a 68 Val

And this is why 17's and 18's make so much sense. With a 17x8" and 5.25" of backspace most BBP A-bodies could run a 245/45/17 all the way around with pretty much no modifications at all. Cars with 8 3/4's and BBP axles probably wouldn't even need a spacer in the back, 8.25 and 7.25" cars would though. And a 245/45/17 is a pretty popular size, so, lots of tire options. That's probably exactly what I'll do with my '71 GT, if I can stick with the plan and NOT do a 1/2" spring offset on that one.

Hmmm 245's all the way around sounds pretty good. So, 5.25 of bs is a good starting point? I assume I have some measuring to do! And would the offset be 0?

Wonder if anyone makes steel rims in these sizes or if I'll have to do some sort of mag. Okay, time to do some internet searching.

Thank you,
