17in Wheel Fitment on 3/4 Drop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DreamRyder1963** · 12-14-2013, 08:35 PM

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?

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

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?

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.
