Need some help

[gooner]

My very first post! Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot of action in the Wheels and Tires forum, so I thought I'd ask here.

Recently began work on a 1971 Cutlass, and have my eyes on a particular set of wheels. Problem is... I KNOW it is gonna be tight. Here are the wheel specs:

FRONT: 19x9.5 +20 offset (I believe that would be 6" backspacing)
REAR 19x11 +25 offset (7" backspacing?)

I am not opposed to using a small spacer of some sort if necessary, as I have not personally ever had a bad experience with them... but would still prefer not to.

So... can these fit, or am I just TOO far off?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. Fitment will depend on the tires that you choose. The front looks fine. The rears might need a small spacer. My comments are based on the assumption that a 71 Cutlass has similar space as my 70 GTO.

I am moving this to the wheel and tire forum.

Thanks Andrew! I have admired your car many times when planning mine. Do you have any tire size recommendations?
