Will these fit and/or rub at all?

I know 17's fit. I saw someone here who had 18x9.5 on their wagon and they fit.

So here's what I found:

17x9
5" backspacing

Will they fit without rubbing at all? Also will the Mustang tire size (215/60R17 I think?) fit on these or will they be stretched and crappy? What would you recommend?

I'm all ears.

The Mustang tire size is P235/55/17. That's what I have on my Impala wheels. Came off a new 2010 Mustang.

At $80 a wheel you do have lots of other options. I paid $250 for my Impala wheels. Chevy Rally wheels look great. Also chrome GM truck wheels for 90's Chevy trucks looks sharp, like they had on the SS454 and Sport trucks.

I don't want Impala wheels, everybody does those. <_<

I want to be somewhat different. I'd love a set of rally wheels, but I can't seem to find any. I'm just looking more at the size than those particular wheels (Sprocket already has a set on his wagon, in 15".)

But I'm just using those as a point of reference, because I do want something wider than 7". And yeah, I'd like to be in at $400 or less for my 4 wheels. Somehow....

Id love to spend some more and get something like these in a 17"

I saw them a few years ago at a show and they looked great, even had a 20" version that I cannot find anymore. It looks like there are a few companies reproducing these billet style.

Not too bad a price but not under $400

Yeah, those look good. I could go for some of the Chevy rally wheels, if I could find them.

But part of me wants to go bigger. Not OBNOXIOUSLY huge, no bigger than 18", but something nice and clean.

Found these in the local craigslist.

Sweet, but I think those are only fitting on a Roadmaster.

Probably a really good steal though, $300 isn't bad.

Tim, I think he was looking to see if they are 5X5 or not.......

No, their 5x5 (just for an example), but I'm wondering about the backspacing, rubbing, turning, etc.

Sorry, just responded to Cletus's post......

I think the facrtory rims are 4.5" or 5" back spacing. 5" should work.

Awesome. I wanted to go wider. I love the way they look. If I remember, the Impala wheels are 17x8.5, but I didn't know if the extra half inch would mess with the front or anything.

If not, I'm happy.

mine are 15x8 with 4 in baackspace and are tight (you need to come check them out).

i'd suggest a 5.5 BS with a 9 in width.

What about 8 inch width? Would 5 inch be good then?

I haven't seen any with 5.5 (not that I've looked terribly hard, but you know).

And yeah, I really do need to. Less than a month before I disappear forever to Jacksonville. lol

Maybe I need to convince my dad to take a trip to the u-pull it just for the hell of it one day and pay you a visit. He's starting to come around to the wagon...

8 wide with 5" BS will work VERY nicely. mine have alot of space behind them.

you and your dad are welcome a nytime.

Hmm... maybe I might need to move my selections up a few dollars:

I like these.

My coys are for sale. $1000 and you can have them at the fest. They are 18x9.5 and fit the wagon.

But someone would have to bring some tires I could roll home on!

I can't make it to the fest.

And much as I love your wheels (and how they fit) $1k plus tires is out of my budget. Good luck selling though. What are you going with now to replace them?

That was WITH the tires.

I need to get a set of custom forged wheels to do what I am planning.

I would love those. lol

I won't be able to purchase for a couple of months though. Right now I'm trying to price it out in my head.

If you still have them come say... mid September ish. I'm all over that. lol

What's the name of the wheels? I want to find a link to show my dad.

http://www.coyswheel.com/coys.html

They are the gunmetal ones.

Yeah, I hope you still have those. Those look amazing.

Do they rub when turning at all or anything? I've never been in a B-body with wheels that big before, so I'm curious.

No rubbing. And I drive it HARD.

You and me both.

17x9 with 5 inch backspacing will work, but it will be close to the fender. Might need some minor trimming, but I doubt it with the proposed tire size. Should work.

Crovo- those wheels look so absolutely perfect on that wagon. The only way to top that WOULD be something forged. So I'm looking forward to what you do next.

Close to the fender is fine by me, doesn't bother me at all. I assume they won't be as close as what toomanytoyz has, and if he drives as hard as I think he does (I remember his little Impala burnout in front of a cop story...)I should be okay.

Hey uh... question: what's the backspacing on the regular 15x7 wheels? I'm debating staying with 15 inch wheels to keep tires cheaper down the road (poor college student and what not...)
