I am ordering my TT II's tomorow my local tire dealer matched the price I could get on the internet within 20 bucks so I will order from him. I am going with 17x8's all the way around. should the backspacing be the same for all 4 wheels? 4 inches? also what is the bolt pattern for my 71? 4 1/2 or 5 inch?
