1973 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus Wheels

I have a '73 Satellite with front discs and rear drums.
The stock wheel size is 15x7 rim with 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
Stock Tire size is 215-70R15 with overall diameter of 26.9 inches.

I want to go to a 17 inch wheel. Preferably the Center Line MM6MB 635MB.
17x8 - Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 | 5x4.5 | 5x4 1/2 - Offset: 00 mm.
Tires will be BFGOODRICH G-FORCE COMP 2 A/S - 215 /50 R17 with overall diameter of 26 inches.

I guess my concern is the little extra width, from 7 inches to 8 inches.
Anyone think this will be a problem?
Also, since the overall diameter will be .9 inches smaller, there shouldn't be any other issues, should there?
Will the offset of 00 mm be OK, shouldn't be any issues there, right?
I think the hub bore size is 73, so I do not think there will be an issue with that.

Anyone know if there will be issues with this 17 inch setup?
Hopefully it should just bolt right up.

Any help is appreciated.

Tire has to be wider to fit the wider rim. Try a 245/45/17 or 245/50/17 tire. Back spacing on rim is important, so you make sure you are not installing FWD type rims on.

255 is no prob and some members here have 275

Very, VERY generous wheel wells on these cars.

Easiest way is to measure and see how much room you have between tire and leaf spring, and tire and wheel well lip. Running 215's I would think you have plenty of room. Then you need to check the backspacing of your current rims and the new rims to see how much it is going to move the tire.

Think of it this way. Same width tire, with same backspacing will move the tire outwards the inch you widened it. 69B3RT is right though that if you are going with a wider wheel, you may want to go to a wider tire. 215 is a pretty narrow tire for a 8" rim. According to a chart I found, you would be right at the minimum tire size for a 8" rim. 225 or 235 would be better! Still need to look at your backspacing though so you can center it up in the wheel well.

Oh,.. just realized I lost the headers when I snipped that portion of the chart. First column is rim width, then min tire size, middle is ideal tire size, last is max recommended tire size.
