Need help on wheels sizes for 73
Hey folks, finally biting the bullit and ordering a set of wheels and brakes to get my project driveable again. What I need to know is what backspacing do I need for an 18inch wheel front and rear and am I correct in using an 8inch wide wheel front and rear? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you are going with an 8" wheel, use 4" backspacing. My car has 17x8 with 4" backspacing on the front and 18x9.5 with 4.875" backspacing on the rear.
