      Center line split spoke 17's

      Hi all my first post
      so I decided to go the pro touring route on my regal, and I plan on doing the zq8 spindle swap so I can run c5 corvette brakes but I want to run the centerline split spoke 17's or billet specialties street lite 17's, anyone know how big of a spacer I would need for either of those and what size I should order for my g body?
      Thank you all too, I'm sure you'll see me posting alot more about my car

      And my car is a 78 regal g body platform

      I am sure someone with that body style will chime in.

      You could go out and measure the car and see what back space you currently have and decide how more tire you can fit in there. You will need to have a brake profile to determine pad thickness so the calipers can clear the spokes.

      BTW, welcome to PT.com

      check with the wheel maker, with correct offset you should need a spacer, i use the LS! brakes on my 87 and it cleared ronal 16 inch wheels easily. try one of the buick forums i know turbobuick has a wheel fitment database.
