So lately I've been on a rim hunt. I really like the look of old Cragar SS rims so I decided to try out some 17" x 8" Ford Mustang GT wheels. I'm hoping to pick some up tonight for $300 with new tires.
Will these fit with no mods or do I have to move the springs?
They have 6" of backspacing. The reason I'm concerned is because I read this on www.bigblockdart.com tech pages:
The A-body 8.75 came with small drum brakes, and a 4" bolt pattern that isn't very popular. As for width, once you move springs and wheelwells to fit 10" rims, you'll find you need 7.5" of backspacing. There are only 2 wheels available with this much offset, so choices are limited. Notice alot of a-bodies have Draglites of Centerlines? Now you know why.
Any help is much appreciated. Sorry for the rush. Thanks so much FABO!
