I've seen people say that a 17x9 will work with a zero offset. To me a zero off set would be 4.5" backspace. Here are the wheels I am looking at. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-17X9-TORQ-THRUST-T70R-AMERICAN-RACING-CHEVY-FORD-MOPAR-HOT-ROD-wheels-/230514307498?hash=item35abb931aa:m:m_i_HZBBvhNgvLN_fRcIzUA 56 Plaza 63 D100 step side 67 Coronet, 68 Roadrunner, 69 Super Bees, 69 Coronet 500 convertible, 70 Roadrunner Post, 79 D150 360, and a severe case of Mopar a,d,d

For me its the challenge of making them, and I like the old school look of a steel wheel.
