    Wheel back space

    Would anyone know what the 2005 to 2013 17X7 wheel back space is ? If they will fit a 69 Torino. 

    Cut to fit, Pound to shape, Paint to match

    Re: Wheel back space

    george,

    more info needed from you on the specific wheel you are interested in.

    in the meantime, the 2004-2009 "bullet" style wheel is 17 x 8 with a 45mm backspace.  
    (you'll need to break out the metric to inch conversion scale).
    Here's the part number i'm referring to: 6R3Z1007C, google it for a picture.

    What brakes do you have on the torino now and do you know the lug bolt pattern?

    Re: Wheel back space

    josh, I think you confused offset with backspacing..

    The 1994-2004 17x8 wheels had 5.72" backspacing.
    The 2005 to currect 17 x 8" wheels had 5.95"

    That 17x7 wheel from the late model cars was discussed on the old forum once.  I do not recall what the backspacing was, but you could go do a search on 17x7 wheel.  Those wheels are plentiful and cheap on craigslist.  I see the same set advertised over and over, so they should be ripe for the taking.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
