      For a budget approach, the Crager D window 17x9's work well.....

      Ok so I can run 17x9 or 17x10 on all 4 corners then? I would like to get a set of BBS style wheels or something like them. The trouble I'm having is that I'm not sure what backspace and or offset I would need in the front and rear. Once I do cage / fuel cell / mini tubs I will be getting your "TVS" system set up for my car!
      Thanks for the info

      I'm in the process of upgrading the brakes on my 70 Roadrunner to 4 wheel disk. I got with Ron Sutton to spec out a brake set from Wilwood so he knows all the part numbers and all the other parts that aren't included in the brake kit that you'll need.

      As far as stance, you can check out some pics of my car here. I'm running 275/40-18s in the back with 9.5 inch wide wheels and 5.25 backspace. I think I could safely go with 6 inches of BS but these wheels are only available in 5.25 BS. The fronts are currently 245/45-18s on 8 inch wide wheels with 4.5 BS. The 9.5 inch rears fit but I have not driven with then so not sure if they rub anywhere.

      I'm running the Hotchkis 2 inch drop leafs and their 1.10 T bars ran down to where they just pass the Opossum test (4" of ground clearance at the headers).
