[abodyjoe]

got the rear tires on today.(275/50-17).. slipped right in there and they fit great.. can't wait to go do a smokey burnout with them.. still have to change out the brakes before i do the fronts so that will wait till probably tuesday... not the best pics .. what do you think?

while i was at it i figured i would try them on jamies car.. her car is 100% stock except for the big bolt 8 3/4 the 17 X 8 rim with a 5.72 backspace actualy fit with about 1/2" room to spare... and my front tires 225/50-17 fit back there perfect... would love to put a set on her car.. would just have to figure out what to do in the front.. bill says that they have too much backspace and i noticed that the hub doesn't fit the wheel all the way.. there has to be a fix for that....

i don't have springs anymore.. i went with a street lynx system from RMS which is what gave me the extra room...



jamie's green 69 dart is all stock except for big bolt axles and drums and the rim fits her car perfect.. the 225/50-17 even fits well...


the problem is the front disc rotor won't fit all the way in the rim and the backspace would be too much for a stock front suspension.. not sure if a spacer would fix that or not...

Cool Joe !!!!!!!!!

tell me about it.. your gonna see everything...

Dam that looks good Joe!
Are the rims 17 X 8 for the front and back for your car?
Can you tell me what brand those are? I have been looking for a wheel with a 6" back space but can't find anything I like. I'm sure 5.72 would work for me though, and I like the look of those wheels for a great price.
Thanks

 

[abodyjoe]

yes i got 17 x 8 for the front and rear... i'm running the alter-k up front so that allows the big backspace up front..

here is the link of where i got them.. http://www.americanmuscle.com/bullittwheels.html they have all kinds of sizes.. you may find one closer to the 6" backspace you want here to

 

[abodyjoe]

heres the link to my rims.. http://www.americanmuscle.com/17x8-bullitt-black.html


these 17 X 9 have a 5.94 back space.. http://www.americanmuscle.com/blbuwh.html

Thanks Joe.
Those wheels are a great price. I'm going to try and find out if they will fit over my Wilwood front brakes. 17 X 9's would be a tight fit in my car, but next week I have a few days off and will have the tape measure out. I have borrowed some rims from friends to check fitment.
