17" by 8 with 4.5 B/S all around.Will this work all the way around on a 1978 malibu 2-door.If so tire suggestions.Thanks for the help

Yes it will...try a 235/45/17 on front and a 245/45/17 rear. I would
think they would be a no hassle fit.

I run 16x8 with 4.5 bs and 245/50 all around. Great fit, but did have to run a 1/4" spacer on the driver rear with the stock rear end. The 9" is more centered and does not need a spacer. If you want 4 wheel rotation, those rims sound like a good choice.

What if the wheels were 20 inch?Will the backspacing be the same?

 

[TRENCHER]

nope, you'll need 5-5.5

 

[BigMone]

So 20inch wheels need 5 or 5.5 backspacing and then they fit?

 

[Stangboy]

Why is that, I dont really understand on the 20's?

 

[BigMone]

Yea explain that also...bigger wheels mean more spacing??
