    Just put some on my car last week.  I used 17x8 front and back with a 4" back space in the front and 4.75 in the back.   I used Falken 451 rubber with 235/40's in the front and 275/40's in back.  The back tire clears the wheel well lip by about 1/4" and I have about 3/4" to the spring. I also bought the Carlisle 3 spoke center piece (spinners??) which were quite expensive but I think the add a different look to the wheel.

    Thanks for resizing the pic....I just figured out how to do that.

    I just took a quick shot which I'll attach.  It was raining when I brought the car home so the car is a little bit dirty and I don't have the spinners yet, their suppose to be in this week.  I post a good picture when I have everything in place. :)

    I'd love to see a few of the car when done also.  I am thinking of going that colour and have the same wheels.  Marbury, I have the eagle TT II knockoffs and went with 17 x 8 up front and 17 x 9.5 in back.  Sorry, I don't know the backspacing.  I have 3/4 inch relo kit and an b-body rearend but they will fit even with the stock rear and no relo kit, a friend had them on his Chally.

    Very nice looking car and wheels!  I'm trying to decide about a tire/wheel combination.

    I am new to the site.  Is this a popular wheel for Cuda's/Challenger's?  Who is the manufacturer?

    American Racing.

    They are pretty popular for about any car.  They just happen to be one of the few manufacturers that provide the correct bolt pattern for Mopars.

    Would you mind getting the bs measurements?  I want to go 17x8 and 17x9.5 as well on my 71 Cuda with 245/45 and 275/40s.

    Ok, I just scrounged up a box and the 9.5s say + 8mm for offset, thats all it says.  I don't have the box for the fronts so I can't help you out there, maybe someone else will be able to.  Good luck
