looks really nice man! love the deep dish. I am having a MWC Fab9 built right now. Did they order the shortened axles or did they shorten the rear from stock length by cutting it. Im tempted to call them and asked for a shorted. I think 19X11 would look really nice.

yea, your wheels look so amazing, how much lip do you have compared to the BS for the stock rear?

The nice thing about the 17" Street Lites is that you can move the center section and they will still work with stock brakes.

i think most 17s dont have a prob with stock brakes even with dif back spacing. its the 15s we run in to problems with and the fbody specific 15s do not work if you narrow the rear

i plan on doing something similar down the road. i want to powder coat mine an do something that hasn't been done before...

what are the tire sizes? assuming it's a 315.

does anyone know if a 305 will fill that wheel well up? (not looking to drop the car much) i would love to do a mini tub with a 18x12 but i don't know if it's doable with these rims or if they custom spec them???

what size are the rims? Im having a MWC fab9 built right now, narrowed 3" likes yours. I see you said the 4.75" backspacing fits perfect. Im looking to get 19x11"s in the rear of mine
thanks!

do the fronts have stock bs? they compliment the rear well. i can't stand when the front doesn't have enough lip to compliment the rear

sorry about the delay on answering the questions.
The wheels are 17x11 w/a 4.75 bs. so any wheel in the 11inch size needs that BS to fit perfect.
the fronts are regular bs they are just 7inch wide w 7.75 bs
the rear does not have any issues with rubbing and everything has plenty of space under there. The car is currently undergoing a 4l80e conversion and so I am busy with that project and have not been on this thread.
Pm me if you have anymore questions so I can go up here and respond.
hope that helps you man.
the rear is the coolest mod I have done so far. I love the 6.5 inch deep dish.

are you sure on the backspacing of the fronts? Ur bs is wider than the wheel lol? I am looking at Billet Specialties website for BS charts and here it what it says:

17x7 - Backspace... Min 3.50" - Max 4.50"

I have been looking for some good pics of narrowed rears with the street lite 17x11s so thank you for posting the 4.5 bs.. I think that is a little much for my taste and will probably go with the 5.5 bs
