Backspacing question
I have searched and actually found a lot of information. But also some confusing. Hopefully this will be a quick thread and easily answerable.
Currently I have the 15" aluminum 8" wheels with 255/60/15 on my '79. Which If I'm understanding have 4" backspacing. So... If I went with a 17x8" wheel with 4.5" offset & +1mm offset will the wheel sit deeper into the wheel well by 1/2"?
I'm trying to come up with a wheel/tire combination that will be a no brainer in fitting and also have close to the same height, which 255x50x17 tires would give me.
As always thank you much
