I looked around and finally got my rims from Summit.  They price match and take care of any issues no questions asked.
I always buy tires at my local Discount Tire, they can get whatever you want, mounting and balance included and no shipping fee.

Local tire shop, kinda nice to have one around. I agree somethings can be bought on the internet, but if i have decent tire/ wheel dealer around i try to help them as long as they are reasonable.

I bought mine from SFX performance out of Texas.

Bought Torq-Thrust wheels with Nitto NT-05 tires mounted. Very happy with the service received.

I found a set of rims and tires on wheels for less. Front rims 17x8 with correct backspace. The rears are 17x9.5 inch with 5.00 bs. Not entirely sure if the extra half inch wheel width wil be an issue over a 9 inch wheel.

With standard E body rear, it is going to be next to the quarter wheel opening. A 5.5" BS might work better. Best to take wheels off to measure both sides.

its actually 5.05 bs. its a staggered setup that comes up for a cuda. I guess ill have to contact them.  everytime I find a wheel I want to get , I can get the 8 inch front wheel , but don't seem to be able to get the 9 inch rear wheel I need.  :clueless:  ill get what I want. got to keep at it. I don't want to settle

I never found a 9" wheel for the front with the correct bs. I ended up buying a 9" wheel and using a spacer to end up at 5" bs.
Also when you are looking at wheels, keep an eye on the hub bore. There are a lot of wheels out there with a bore that is tooo small.If I remember right you need 72mm bore

The 9" wheel is for the rear. Thanks for the heads up on bore
