4.75" BS 17x8 on 67 gs400

Hey guys, would the above mentioned wheel work without rubbing on my 67 gs400?


Thanks,

Dave

 

I put ridler 18x8 with 4.50 backspacing.
Has 1968 12 bolt rear and is supposed to be same width as a 67 10 bolt buick.
Fender lips have been trimmed to accommodate a 235 wide tire.
Note that there is 2 plus inches of clearance between frame and tire so could definitely use more backspace

 

I think they will work but 5” might be better.

 

They should be fine front and rear, depending on tire width. I use 17x8's with 4.5" backspacing on my 64 and they're fine with a 225 tire's up front and 255 tires in the rear and that is with disc brakes up front. Drum brakes will give you more fender clearance. I tried an 8" wide wheel with 5" of backspacing up front and rubbed the sway bar at full lock.
