"B" Bodies With 17" Wheels.........Post Your Photos

[Riverdawg]

Personal taste maybe, I think the 17s & 18s look good. Probably more because of bigger brakes than anything else.

 

[SSmoothie]

Do you happen to know the back spacing or offset at all?

I can’t get a good measurement on the backspace without taking the wheel off, haven’t had time. I will try to get to it soon.

Not sure if this would interest any of you running 17 inch steel wheels , so I will just put it out there....

 

[Greg Ducato]

That's a cool idea!

I also thought about leaving the center part of the ring in , to see if anyone running a Center Line or similar wheel , with long studs , would want to run a dogdish cap on top of that wheel ( to give it a stealth look ). Now that would be a direct bolt on , with an extra set of lug nuts. Don't have a pic , but I seem to remember someone wanting or trying to do that...

18x9 (F) w/ 255s & 18x10 (R) w/ 295's. 18" wheels offer optimal tire selection and availability, 17" wheel would offer slightly more performance with (possibly) less unsprung weight. I would recommend a 40/45-series sidewall for both, 17" or 18" wheel choices.

Yeah I’ve seen several of the mid eighties GM cars like that around here for years. I a couple late 60/early seventies too. Most are GM, cutlasses or Malibu’s. Don’t care for them.

Yes, mostly done to GM products. Thank goodness.
I'm kinda old school, to me, muscle cars look best on 14 or 15 inch steel wheels.
Big wheels is what happened to those GM guys, 17's looked ok, so 26's must be better.

Looks like he's running Nitto NT555s on the rear, picture is a bit blurry.

Yes, what them Nitto 555R Extreme Drag. They grab really good.
