8 inch wheels all the way around
« on: April 07, 2012 - 10:33:12 PM »
Does anyone have 8" wheels on all four corners?  If so would you mind posting some pictures along with the tires size?

Thanks

Not 8", but I run 17x9" rims on all 4 corners. 5" backspace, 275/40/17 Toyo Proxes 4's all around. What diameter wheel are you looking for?

You should check out the wheel and tire combo thread, should be some more info there. I know there's at least a few people running at least 8" rims on the front, which is really the bigger issue. 8" rims on the back are no problem...

Nice shots.  I should have given a little more info.  I am thinking about putting 15x8 Rallyes all of the way around on my 72 Cuda.  Russ, did you have any steering problems and would you have any angle shots?  Also what is the backspacing on those Rallys?  Those 17s look good too.

Thanks

Zero steering, rubbing or fitment issues.

No idea on the backspacing. They were on the car when I bought it, but I'd put money on them being 4.5" (4 1/2").

Could you post a few  pictures of your car too?  I am saving different combinations in a folder so that when I can pull the trigger I will have already decided what I want to do.

Thanks
