Dyna Mag II Wheels
I have a chance to buy a set of Dyna Mag II Wheels for really cheap. Like, I can believe he is letting them go for that, cheap. They are 17 x 9.5. I know they will need spacers, but my question is will 9.5 fit the front? I have a 78 SA.

They are 7" back spacing which means I would need a 1.5 in spacer correct? Regardless if they fit or not. I may buy them, blast them, powder coat them and resell them. They are a $2500-$3000 set of wheels.

I don't want to sound argumentative, but how is Mike80 able to have 9.5 fronts with a 2.5" spacer. There are several people using 9.5 inch front wheels with adapters. I guess that is the question. What body or frame mods will I have to do?

Maybe you should send him a PM. Also, I haven't read this whole thread, but it's the tire/wheel combo sticky, if you haven't read it yet, it may or may not contain some info that you can use. Bon appetit!

I don't think you realize. The Dymag wheels are worth $3k. I am able to purchase them for $500 dollars because they need blasting and repowder coated which I am able to do. Which is why I am pushing for them.

Scotty, they were offered by Callaway. Callaway had 3 generations of Dymags throughout the years and now are hard to find. They are magnesium and only weigh 20lbs for 17 x 9.5 rims. I figured I could buy them, restore them, use them, and then sell them if I get tired of them, or sell my car.

Oh, it's a rarity thing, I get it. Well, personally, (and I understand that different folks have different tastes) I think they are kinda plain-Jane looking. Buy 'em, spruce 'em up, and sell 'em, use the money to buy some cooler looking wheels. Check these out:

Just look for the 17" x 8" with the -12mm offset, throw some 255/50/17 or 235/55/17 tires on 'em, and you'll be stylin', with enough left over to do something special for the old ball-and-chain. Win-win, baby!
