    Wheel help!!
    « on: August 16, 2008 - 08:42:59 AM »
    I hate buying wheels for cars!! Anyways I am wanting to put 17's or 18's under my Cuda. It has ben mini tubbed and springs moved in. My 15 inch rims are 10 inch wide and have 5 inches of back spacing. All of the newer rims (bulliet style) have too much b/s. From the axle flange to the inner frame rail is 8 inches and from the axle to the 1/4 lip is 7 inches.  Up front is another story but I think I have that ironed out. If you have any info., pics, or anything at all it would help. I am looking for a rim something along the pic below.

    Yep, i'm running those American Racing wheels. Nowhere near a minitubbed car though, fully stock suspension more or less.

    Very, just a word of advice. The 17 and 18 rims have different size hubs. 18s wont fit on the front hub without modifications, the 17s will. I didnt know that going in, just dumb luck i bought 18rears and 17 fronts

    I bought the rims after seeing them on Goody's car.  I'm very happy with them.  I had to grind the hubs on the 18's to fit.  They are designed for Ford hubs which are slightly smaller.

    What is the exact size and back spacing on the front?
