Thoughts on these wheels, tires, and backspacing.

[tdave00]

Found these 17 inch Centerlines a couple hours from where I live. Good tread on all 4 tires and minor curb rash on one wheel. I can buy them at a really good price.



The fronts are 17 x 8 with 255/50R-17 tires and the rears are 17 x 10 with 275/50R-17 tires.

Front backspace - 5.5 inches.
Rear backspace - 6.5 inches.

Seems like a lot of backspacing. What are you guys thoughts? (I don't want to drive two hours to look at these if they aren't close to exactly what I need.)

There a little dated i like them though you may need a spacer in the rear the fronts should be fine

THIS MAY HELP WITH AN IDEA ON VALUE http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/c...ct=4245&cat=16

I had them mounted on my 72 suburban with NO problems... GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!

My rims are for sale locally as well... anybody in norcal I have a link to them in my sig. below

the backspacing is fine, he just measured wrong. the wheels are actually 17x9.5 and 17x8.5. the rear backspacing is 5.25"

it will work for you.

if you still have doubts, go try them on your truck!

You guys rock. Thanks for the input.

@ORANGESI I don't mind a little dated. I am doing a rat rod/patina look, so these are perfect for my truck. And the price is right (better than 72swb_327stroker_? asking price).

@72swb_327stroker_? Thanks for the input and pictures. Good luck with selling your wheels and tires. They look good on your Burb.

I think your price is just fine (especially for 5). Just stating that I was getting them cheaper.

Thanks again.

I knewed that

Good find brother!

These wheels in a 17 cost 360+ a wheel, no tires!

Well I did some research on these, and he could have had these special ordered with 6.5 inch backspacing(I don't know why) but, the most common back spacing that center line wheels popped out the factory with is 5" bs.... so definitely try them on your truck first.

Good luck brother,
post up some pics when you get em!
