17" wheel question
Does anyone know if these wheels/tires I found will fit my '75. Thanks

Go to wheelsforless.com and get the Torque Thrust II PVD finish and Nitto tires. Great deal.
The PVD chrome is better than any chrome finish out there. I did it, and it's awesome. About $1600 all in cost with tires.

That's a much better deal. The additional money is well spent.

No. 4.5bs will push the wheels in to where they will be extremely close to the trailing arms and will probably require you to relocate the parking brake cable brackets at the least.
Get the American Racing 17x8 with 4.1 bs from wheelsforless if you like the style you showed and the 17x8. I got plain polished TT's and they work great. There are a lot of threads on here about wheel and tire sizes. I studied and read for hours to make sure I would have no rubbing issues, either behind the wheels or at the wheel openings. Google "offset vs backspace" to get a good understanding of what the terms mean.
