17x8 fit on stock 73 Duster?

[Agent73]

I would like to use American Racing Torque Thrust II 17x8 4.5 backspace 0 offset front and rear. Will this work on my stock 73 Duster?

That size will fit. I had 17x9 on the front of my Dart but I dont remember what the backspacing was.

toby, what is your backspacing, offset and tire size. Thanks!

with 17x9 you need about 5.62 or 5.5 backspacing.

Here's a Valiant with the same 17x8 and 5.62 backspacing as pictured above. Some rims come closer to the outer tie rod than others. You need the flat upper ball joints though.
