I have a line on a set of rims that I have wanted for some time and no access to my car right now so If anyone could help I would appreciate it. I need to know If a set of 17x8 rims with 4.25 inches of backspacing will fit under my 86 cert. The car also has 2 inch lowering springs thanks

They will stick out exactly 1" more than these (my car with 16x8 and 5.25" backspace in the back). The front's on my car are also equivelent to an 8" wheel with 5.25" backspace.
