    here's an example of the wheels i just purchased from a friend of mine
    http://www.americanmuscle.com/ch20cowh1.html

    is anybody rolling on anything with similar specs as these, the sumitomo tires(275/45/17) that are on them are shot and will be replaced with lopro tires, Ive been using the search function and from what ive seen i think they'll fit, what do you guys think. if not i can always sell them and put on the 16's that i have stashed away.

    With spacers they will. Those have 6.02" backspacing, while on our cars the most we can get away with is usually 4.5".

    ok, ima snatch these bad tires off one day and try to take some measurements for spacers. my guess is 1.25 up front and maybe 1.5 out back, and rolled fenders of course.
