i bought some wheels from a new edge to resell and make some money off of, but the more they keep sitting there the more they are BEGGING to go on the 65. 17x8 bullitts with 245/45 tires.
so, how big of a spacer do i need? do i need the spacers on the front and back?
Any pics of those wheels? I'd like to see them. If the backspacing is 5.72" you'll need 1" spacers all around, that's what's on my 66. You'll have a tough time getting 245's up front. I'm running 235's and that's with the lips rolled, 1 3/4" upper arm drop with wedges, and alot of camber (really needs an alignment) and they still rub on real bad bumps. When I buy new tires I'll probably go with 225's up front.
I bought a 1" spacer for my fronts and a 1/2" spacer for my rears. I bought a wheel adapter kit from CJ Pony parts that is made for this exact swap. I am assuming the spacers are correct.
