Wheel options
 
I run a set of Boyd Coddington's on my car - 17 x 9.5 - 4.75 BS and 17 x 8 - 4.25BS. I run 315s on rear and I think 245 on front. Anyway the 9.5 inch have always been a little narrow for the 315s. I have mounted a set of slicks on the BC wheels and now use them for nothing but the track. I wanted to order a set of street wheels in 10.5 " and wanted the Vintage Wheels. I called Bob and he cannot do them without the wheels being about 1 inch wider to the outside than what I have now. My 315s are already out towards the outside edge of the fender so I don't want that.

Any suggestions on other brands? I really don't want to have to narrow the rearend.

Also, am I thinging about this correctly - if I go to a 10.5" and want to keep the outside edge of tire/wheel where it is now I need a 5.75 backspace?

Thanks,
Bruce
