I've been looking for a new set of wheels since I'm doing the conversion on my '66 Coupe. I havent had any luck finding the wheels I want with the right backspacing. I want to go with a 17x7 in the front and 17x8 in the rear. I was told that I need 4.5 backspacing up front and 4.75 in the back. I havent been able to find any wheels that I like with that backspacing.
So I found some American Racing Rodder Series Wheels on Speedway.
The 17x7 has a 4" backspace, 0mm offset.
The 17x8 has a 4.5" backspace, 0mm offset.
Would it be ok to run 1/2 spacers to get the offset I need or would it be better to just keep looking for wheels. The other challenge is the axles I ordered from Quick Performance come with 1/2 wheel studs and every spacer I seem to find are for 5/8 studs.
