Can anyone tell me if 17"x8" wheel with 4.5" backspacing will fit on the front and back of a 62 Plymouth Fury wagon ? Tire size will be 235/60/17 or 225/60/17.
 
I have that exact wheel on the back of a 57 Chevy sedan delivery, with a 255/50x17 tire, and fit perfectly. I know it would fit on the back of my 62 sedan, (except for the bolt pattern difference) cause I've got a bigger tire than that on it now.
I would consider 17x7s on the front, (that's what I'm using on the 57 and 62) but if you want the same size front and rear, and 17x8, I would go with the narrower tire.
Your wagon has a much more open wheelwell than a sedan in the rear, you can certainly use either on the back.
You might want to consider a 235/55x17. A little shorter, probably a better fit on the front.
