Hello Everyone,
Okay here we go..... I have an older FFR roadster kit I am just finishing up and need to order wheels. I am using a '89 donor car, and changed the 4 bolt pattern to a five bolt by using axles from a '89 Ranger using drum brakes and rotors from a '89 Lincoln for the front. I want to go with 17" wheels and love the American Racing Wheels, Torque-Thrust II classic (series CL 205), chrome with grey centers. I don't want to order the wrong size!!!
Will the 17*9.5, 5*4 1/2 bolt pattern, 6 3/8 backside, with a 28 offset fit the rear.
Will the 17*8, 5*4 1/2 bolt pattern, 5 1/2 backside, with a 25 offset fit the front.
These are the stock sizes they offer that seemed right to me. I got the (width divide 2)+ 1.25 = backside from FFR, but am not to sure how far in either direction I can go, or if the backside has to be right on the money.
Thank You for any help
