We purchased the new rally wheels from Year One and wanted to post a few pics for anyone considering these rims. We got them to put on a 69 Barracuda and purchased the 8" rims which have 4 1/4 back spacing.
First they are great quality and look great. No problems finding tire sizes to fit the back. But as you all know the front is a different matter. We were hoping that a 245 45 would fit as advertised but with the back spacing there is no way without considerable trimming. The pic attached is a very used 215 45. A new tire would definitely rub. Really shouldn't go narrower on a 8" rim and don't want to go shorter as it will probably look silly in the wheel well so we are considering doing a little trimming.
