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.

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.Ah, yes. The HotWheels look. I wondered when this "unique look" was going to hit the muscle car world!!! Sure is something to look forward to...

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.
