Hello-
I know this question has been asked before. I did a search on it and I am now more confused then when I started. the backspacing has me woundering. the deal is I have a chance to get a set of rims from a 2004 mustang gt for cheap, there 17x8. I would like to know if they would fit on my 66 mustang, the front is lowered 1 inch. and the rear is the stock hieght. the thing that confuses me is I will need to use a 1 inch spacer to make these rims fit without them hitting the inside of the wheel wells. what does that do to the backspacing. I am conserned about them hitting the fenders. besides letting me know if they will work or not could someone tell me what the spacers does to the backspacing.
if I will need a smaller then stock size tire will a 225 tire fit on an 8 inch rim?
Sorry for the newbie question, I tried answering myself and ended up making things worse.
Thanks
Ford Kid.
