you think these rims will fit

I have a 72 short step. I have found a set of 17x9.5 with 6 1/2 backspacing for the rear and 17x8.5 with 4 3/4 bs for the front. Do you think they will rub or give me any other suspension problems? I have 15's now.

Thanks
Jeremy

Re: you think these rims will fit

The rears will more than likely rub if you plan to run a decent size tire. I had 17x9.5 with 5.5" bs and 275/60/17 tires and they rubbed. I was gonna put a smaller tire on but I just traded for my 15's. The fronts should be fine.

What size tire do you plan to use?

Can you try them before you buy them?
