6" Backspacing on a 67 rear end? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know the 67's have narrower rear ends, so my question is, would 17 x 9 wheels with 6" backspacing work on the back of my truck? Would 17 x 9 wheels with 6" backspacing work on the front of my truck? It's 6 lug, lowered 3" in front and 3" in back. Just wondering if anyone else is running this set up. Also, how would I measure the backspacing needed on my truck?

Not without a 1" spacer.....

Would that be a 1" spacer front and rear?

Rear for sure. You could probably get by without one on the front, but you might want one for looks.

5.75" BS on the front is extremely close.... don't know how well a 17" wheel w/6" will clear. I would absolutely not spend money w/o test fitting.

i'd b alot worried on the fronts for turning// in the back you may get by with it by just custom rerouting of the emergancy brake cables
