VIII looking for 8s
I'm looking to pull the trigger on some draglites for Big Red but I am having a bit of trouble understanding the sizing. Any input from you guys that have done this is greatly appreciated.
First off, I am swapping over to Mustang hubs so no worries there.
I am looking to run 15x9s out back and 17x4 or 17x4.5s up front. I need to run 17s up front due to the larger Cobra brake setup that I have.
In order to stay as close as possible to the +36mm offset at all four corners I am coming up with what I need as a 15x9 with 6.5" backspacing for out back which will give me 38mm of offset and a 4-4.5" backspacing up front with the skinnier 17s depending on whether I get 4 or 4.5" wheel. Does this sound right?
I seem to be finding the 15s that I need with the proper backspacing but the 17" fronts I found on American Muscle all have too shallow of backspacing like 2.5" or even less. Or does that matter?
Is there something I am missing? Where else should I look? Etc etc?
