17 x 10's instead of 17 x 9.5's on 67???

I have searched and know that that 17 x 9.5's with 275/40's will work on stock 67 rear with 4 3/4 or 4 7/8 bs.. But what about 17 x 10's with the same 275/40's??? Will I have to "microtub" it or is there a special backspace that will work?? The Boze wheels that I like are not available in 9.5's only 9's or 10's:crying: Any help or suggestions would be appreciated..... thanks...

I run 10's on mine with no minitub. Most run anywhere from 5.5-5.75bs to fit the wheel.

17x10 with 5.5 backspacing works just fine using a 275 tire. The tire brand and width are more critical than 0.5" of wheel width. For example, Nitto tires run a little narrower than BFG tires, due to their sidewall designs.

cool.. thanks for the replies. I know they are a ton of wheel fitment threads.. thanks for the help.. Anyone else running 17 x 10's??

Several people have run 17x10s, but lately I'm seeing most guys buying 18's since tire prices have come down for that size.

We're putting a lot of 18x10's on the first gens, with 275/40/18's. Check out MuscleCarJohn's 69 we just did with our Rushforth Wheels!

I run 17x10 with 285/40-17 and had to make some clearance (rolled fenderlip and some mods to the inner fender) I believe the 69 has slightly more room. Mind you; no 2 of these cars are exactly the same, so you have to check everything before you order to be reasonably certain!

BTW; when you wanna see pics of my car, go to the PT Garage.
