Hello. Just wanted to share some info for anyone interested in a wider rear wheel and tire but want to keep stock look. I ordered 2 replica cobra wheels which were 8.5" wide with 5.77 backspace and sent them to weldcraft wheels to be widenew 1.5" to a 17x10. This left me with 7.25 backspace. 3/4" more than a regular 17x10 pony wheel for a regular drum brake car. I'm very pleased with the setup. I still have about 1/4" to spare on inner fender and tires almost apear factory from sides. No hanging out at all. Fenders are not rolled, only quad shocks removed and e brake cable bracket moved to front swat bar hole running a 285-40-17. Check it out.......
