5" backspacing though.. on the 8.5" wide version

Is 5" too much for a regal?

5" probably would be too much, but I'd think these wheels must be replicas of those offered 25 years ago. They worked on G-bodies, and perhaps these new offerings are not 5" backspace.

Yeah it's a little too much ...The ideal rear spacing should be somewhere around 3.5" or 4"...

Here's another view. I doubt very much these 15 X 8.5 wheels are a 5" backspace.

Well the vectors I have sitting here have a 3 & 5/8" back spacing and are 8.5" wide. Maybe I should see if I can get $215 a wheel.

Maybe I need to get of my a$$ and throw one of the rims I have on mine and see just how bad they are going to look........no tires mounted on them yet though.

Cheaper is more better! Only $154 there.
I'm thinking these just came out, cus their sorta dificult to find on the american racing website. Still haven't found an appropriate backspacing listed for the 8.5" though....

I hate to say it but I believe everything I know of these rims were that they were brought back for the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie as a limited production and no one has any left in stock.

Here is the last thread started on these I believe.

There's no way they have a 5" backspace, but if you can't locate any, it won't matter.

Damn...why cant these bad boys come in a 17" or 18" ?!

yes they did the rims only fit a 1969 dodge charger or any other mopar with the same offset and bolt pattern. my friend needed a set and i called AR a few times.

 

[BEATAV8]

Oh well... too good to be true I guess.

Obviously not the same animals ...
