Default Help!!!!

Have the opportunity to pick up some Billet Specialties Rims cheap. Will 17 X 8 with a 4 inch back space fit under a 65 XP coupe. The price is good and dont want a good thing to slip through fingers.

Cheers

I had some 15 x 8 which is 4 inch back spacing on they and they did fit just. I had a touch of rubbing on some corner. I ended up going 15 x 7 inch rims.

my concern would be that the 17" rims are so tall, if the tyre rubber you would end up with the rim rubbing.
