evildky Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 ok, I am planning on doing the 5 lug conversion and I am looking at a set of 16 x 8 Torque thrust wheels, they have a 4 inch backspace, will this fit my 71 without coil overs? I am putting off the coil overs till later just the 5 lug and big brakes is gonna kill me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I am running 17X7 with 0" offset and it is real close to the strut, a shorter wheel with an another 1/2 inch closer (width) would hit for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 A zero offset 8" wheel would have 5" backspacing. A zero offset 7" rim has 4" backspacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
