4th Gen ('81-'88): Wheel & Tire HELP!
#1
Wheel & Tire HELP!
I have an 86 Monte Carlo SS and I really want to put on a set of Cragar S/S 61C Series Super Sport Wheels on it on all four corners:
Summit racing part #: 61C783435
SPECS:
17in x 8in wheels w/ 3.5in backspace (-25.00mm offset)
w/ a p235/50-R17 Tire
I just wanted to see if anyone has used these or think that the backspace would cause any rubbing or problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

you may be ok, but be warned if they are too wide on the inside there is a chance the tire may rub on the exhaust pipe when you have a heavy load in the back of the car, such as a couple of guys and luggage in the back seat and trunk, don't ask me how I know lol but when my tire blew I had to buy a spare and the guy bent me over and had his way with me as I was 2 hours from home and it was still cheaper than a tow and it was a sunday afternoon
you should be ok with the wheel wells not rubbing on the outside of the tire
