Will i have any issues fitting my 16x8's on the back of my notch... I'm swapping to the TC rear end this weekend.
Just wanted to know of any issues I should be warned about?

I think its these specs...
Back Spacing: 5.09" (129mm) Offset: +15mm (0.59")

I got them originally from Discount Tire... they dont carry anymore... but these seem identical.

Click to expand...

I'd rather not remove the quad shocks...

I'm more worried about rubbing the fenders, not clearance on the inside...

am I wrong, or would removing the quad shocks not help anything with fender clearance?

well i could be mistaken but you have a shallow backspacing so the quad shock might be an issue

They fit already as the car sits now, so far no issues with the quad shocks.

I'm doing a Turbo Coupe rear end swap, which pushes the wheels out another .75" on each side....
I just was wondering if anyone had done the TC swap and had or known about clearance issues

There only 16x8 wheels. They should be just fine. Now I'm not sure about 16x9 wheels
