New Year One 17" x 8" N90 (Monte SS) wheels!!

[LS6 Tommy]

I gotta get these to replace my OEM N90s so the suspension work I did can be fully utilized. A question for the guys who have 17" x 8" wheels, does 5" or 4.25" back spacing sound right? Those are the two back spacings available.

From everything Ive read 5" is way too much, go wiht the 4.25" or 4.5" backspacing

You'll want 4.25

I got in touch with 355_79bu. He has the same Global West front end I have & runs 5" BS on the front & 4" BS on the back. He says has enough clearance in the back with his 4" that the 4.25" will be fine. He says there are no clearance problems, even wit hthe car lowered a little. His car is towards the bottom of this post: http://www.maliburacing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=35753&start=30

He also runs the same size tires I want to run with the exception of his rears are 255/45 17 & I'm getting 255/50 17. I ordered the wheels Wednesday. Pic's to come after delivery.

Tommy those are gonna look on your Bu.

I forgot to mention before I get the tires mounted I'm sending them to be refinished in gold like the 80 & 81 Z28s got for brown, maroon, gold & some other body/interior color combos.

I think that will add to the factory flavor I'm trying to create with the Poo Brown paint & Camel interior.

Those are going to look good. I like how they are reproducing all the traditional factory wheels in 17" diameters.

That's a pretty good price for 17" wheels too
