17' Corvette Rallye wheels -Year One

[Dave Pratt]

I've had my eyes on the 17' Corvetter Rallye wheels from Year One for some time now .Has anyone tried using these rims on a 69 Camaro? It lists the 9' rim as having 5 inch back spacing and the 8' rim being 4.5 and I'm guessing that would fit well enough to clear the wheel well.Hopefully someone has this combo...it's winter project time now and I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a set of these...thanks

Those are both "off" by about 1/4" from ideal. 5.25" BS on a 9" wheel will center it in the wheel well, and 4.75" on an 8" wheel. They should fit fine, but you may not want to stuff the largest tire on them, otherwise be prepared to roll the fenders a bit.

Thanks for letting me know...I was affraid of that.Iy's next to impossible to find a decent set of rims without spending a bloody fortune on them.So much for that idea...the hunt continues!
