17x11 Challenger?
« on: May 30, 2008 - 01:41:00 PM »
I have the chance to get a good deal on 17x11's with a 4 1/4" backspace...any one know what it will take to get them to fit in my 72 challenger with an airbar in it?
Thanks
Chris

I have an airbar as well and with a 10.5 inch wheel I needed 6 3/8 backspace and running a 295 tire that only leaves 3/8/ - 1/2 inch on each side

Do you have a stock rear and spring mounts?  Any mini tub or anything?  Thanks, Chris

Not enough backspace to get the wheel in the middle of the wheelhouse with stock width rear end.
