What's your backspacing on the mustang wheels and are you running stock type upper control arms?

I have a 67 2 dr post Valiant that I want to run 17 X 8 bullitt mustang rims on the front, but I have tube upper arms and with the 5 3/4" backspacing on them at full turn/ full extention the rim hits the upper control arms. With a 3/4" spacer the rim just clears the upper. But that's now putting the tire really close to fender lip.



Thanks Brent
