I did exactly what you are planning on doing on my 77/81. I had no problems using 17 x 8 TT II's with a 4" backspacing. We simply bolted the new wheels on and everything fit. I can't give you 100% reassurance regarding the parking brake cable, as mine is not connected. However, the bracket for it is still welded to the trailing arm in the stock position. The new wheels and tires (Kumho Ecsta 712's) are a great improvement over the BFG T/A's that they replaced. I'm sure you'll be happy with the upgrade!

:cheers: Bob

If you're asking what offset, then it is neutral. It's the backspacing that's 4".
