Default quick question? will they fit?

i picked up a set of brand new A/R torque thrust m's, black, for cheap, 17x8 front and 17x10.5 with a 44mm offset in the rear. the guy i got them from bought them from the factory for his 68 camao and the rears hit on his leaf springs. i know the fronts will bolt up without any problems. but the rear rims look to wide for my car too, and dont really wanna have the tubs redone for expense reasons. how wide of a wheel spacer do u think i need and do spacers add any more stress to the axle and studs?

thats a low offset, they should stick out some, not tuck in... with a 315/35, they might hit the fender lip if ur lowered...
use 245/45's on the 8" fronts...

the rears are fine
fronts will most likely need a spacer to bring them out a bit

what are the offsets for the fronts? the rears you will have some rear fender problems if you are lowered and/or if you use a wider than 295 tire. Oewheels rears are 18x10.5 with a 56 offset (farther in the fender than your ttm's) and they hit with 315s if you are lowered. you will need to roll fenders/ run a 295 or smaller rear tire.

10.5's with a 44 mm offset will be fine . . I run a 38 mm offset on mine . .

As stated above, the wider the rear tire the more likely wheel well rolling will be needed especially if lowered.

A 315/35R17 out back with a 245/45R17 front would be a nice combo. OD of the tires will match factory specs.

if no one ever rides in the back you can for the most part get away with it and on fast sweepers every now and then it would probably rub.
