duh...my mistake.. 4 5/8 actually puts the wheel in a bit more... I couldn't find pics of you car..it's in a couple of the car show albums, but far away and blocked by other cars.

I'd love to see how those meats look on the front

His has the rim backside "in" an 1/8" from your 4.5" backspacing. But since he's running a 9" wide rim the outside edge of the rim is 7/8" out from a 17x8 with 4.5" backspace.

This graphic comparator is really handy:

I totally missed that he's got 9" wheels...I'm starting to get carried away. I read this guy's post and start gettin crazy....If I got 275/40/17, the height is the same as what I just took off the car and it's an 1 1/4" wider....

then I see on craigslist locally a guy with two new tires of this size...very cheap.....

yikes!!!! someone slap me!

ok...came to my senses. realized that even though it would fit...275 is just too wide for my 8" wheels. I'm going to get some 255/45/17's and call it good.
