Need help with wheel fitment

[87gnblackdemon]

I really want these rims, Boyds 212, but they start out with 4 1/2 inch bs, what can I do. I would like to go with 17" rims, with 215 low profile tires on front and 245 low profile tires on back. What are my options for bs and rim width without having to make any mods to the fender?

You need to have your frame 'notched' in order to put a 4.5" back-space wheel on your car, and be able to go around corners w/o rubbing.

They will work for you. I have Simmons wheels in 17 inch and the fronts have 4.5 inch and the rears have 4.75 inch backspacing. I run 255-45s on the front and 285-40s on the rears.
What do these rims look like, got ant pics or a link to go to.
My rims are 8.5 inch wide in front and 9.5 inch in the rear, if that helps any.

So I should go with 17" rims with 8.5" width in front with 4.5"bs and 9.5" width in rear with 4.5"bs and they should fit?

They'll fit and look good.
