I was looking around for different wheels to fit our trucks. I came across a Classic Muscle Car Wheel that I've always liked. Come to find out summit Racing up the street from my house has them in the size I want and correct lug pattern for our trucks. My question is what backspacing ( from ones offered at summit ) would work for our trucks for a flush fit. I've got to admit, I'm in the dark about back spacing. Never took the time to learn. What do ya think? [/URL][/IMG] Summit information. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/are-427786545/overview/
My truck is a 92 with 4runner fenders. I have a build thread, check it out. Below is a link to all the ones Summit Racing offers. LINK: http://www.summitracing.com/search?...acing VN427 Shelby Cobra Gray Painted Wheels
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/are-4277956555/overview/ I would say this would be a near-flush fitment but you might have to run an 8mm spacer for a little more poke. I have a 17x10 +25 in the rear and I had to run a 30mm adapter to get it to poke out so you get the picture.
Hey man Thanks alot. So I could definitely run this wheel with zero problems? Once ordered they cannot be returned. Nice to know I can get a little wider tire to. What's your take on the looks? I think they kinda favor Starion/Conquest wheels if you remove the spinner.
It shouldn't be a problem with those specs. The only 2 problems I can think of that might happen is the rim wont fit because the center bore on the rim doesnt clear the front hub but that problem can be sloved with an 8mm spacer. The second is the rear shock/leaf plate might be rubbing the barrel of the rim but if you're running anything less than +18 you're fine. To be on the safe side, you might wanna pick up the other rim thats +12 offset and run a 20mm spacer to clear the lug nut studs. You most likely will have to roll and pull your fenders though depending on your,drop
While were at it. I got one more Wheel to ask about. Meaning would it fit? Just trying to think outside the box a little and be different. If I can settle on something else I would like to get rid of my Starion/Conquest wheels ( Base/Clear Painted, polished w/ Brand new tires ).. I've been trying to figure out the Offset/Backspacing thing. I Know that these are 17x9.5 with a offset of +6.00mm.. I'm guessing they will work with no issues. I'm thinking they will fit like the 16x7 Crown Vic wheels with the same offset just 2.5" wider. That's giving an 1 1/4 " on both sides of the wheel.

Disregard this question. I answered it my self.. These have the same offset as the other ones DugsulOrDie suggested I run.. Yea I kinda like'em..
