17in Wheel Fitment on 3/4 Drop
I am thinking about putting these wheels on my 71 2wd c10 after I drop it 3 in up from ok front and 4 in out back. Can someone confirm if these will fit?

Re: 17in Wheel Fitment on 3/4 Drop
My understanding is that the late model rims often need the center bore to be machined wider and the back spacing is often too little. I would get that info before bidding, and if it fits, post pics

Re: 17in Wheel Fitment on 3/4 Drop
I will contact the seller and ask if they can give the backspacing and center hub diameter. What backspacing would I need with a wheel this size?

Re: 17in Wheel Fitment on 3/4 Drop
It looks like the hub bore is 78.3 mm and, according to a offset to backspace convert I found, the BS is 5.34in. That sounds like to much BS but I am not sure since they are 8.5 inches wide instead of 8in.
