im almost finished stripping the rear section of the underbody and im close to finishing the welding in the trunk. got some parts painted. project is rollin! close to getting the car back on all four, i will be looking forward to a clean garage also.
pics are old have some more will post other pics soon! Auto x cuda, how does 17 x 9.5" with 4.50 back space for the rear and front sound. american racing sells this rim with 5.5" backspace aswell but i love the deep dish look. http://www.summitracing.com/search/B...c&autoview=SKU

12-28-2009 #2If you run 17 x 9.5" with 4.50 backspacing they will NOT fit in the front. You will have to add an 1" flare out around the fender.
Those 17 x 9.5" with 4.50 backspacing rims and tires will fit the rear of a Barracuda with stock A-body width rear end. If anything might need to roll the upper wheel lip.
You can run the 4.5 backspace in the rear and run the 5.5 backspacing in the front. That would give your a deep look in the rear.
You know even a 17 x 9.5" with 5.50 still has 4" on the frontside of the rim. That is more than the very common 15x7 with 4" backspace (3" frontside) or a 15x8 with 4.5" backspace (3.5" frontside).
There's lots of cars with 15x7 and 15x8 torque thrusts to compare to. There's not a good picture of a 17x9.5 with 5.5 backspacing on the Summit site.SPRING FLING XXV
