I pulled the trigger....again....and spent more money

I have to ask...I checked out the additional pictures you had and I saw a spacer laying on your lift. I assume those were used with your previous wheels, correct?

Yes the old 17x8 4.75 had a 3/16 spacer.
The car has a Versailles rear end in it which is narrower than stock.

So does that mean if you had the stock rear end in it, those wheels wouldn't fit? I have a stock rear end in my '67 and I was looking at going the same route but it looks like the backspacing options for the 17x9.5 sized wheel are limited and it already looks pretty tight in your pictures.

It actually isn't tight at all. But what it does mean is that the wheel would be closer to the fender.
It just so happens that I have a stock 67 sitting right here....and the tires are getting mounted to the wheels today....so maybe I can pop one on there and take a pic for you ;)
 
Traction is gonna suck. I not really sure but maybe some rubber stretched around those things would help. :roll

Dude, I think you should not drive your new car on Train tracks... Did you forget what happened to your other car when you tried to invade the space of a 18 wheeler? Geez, just put rubber on that thing and leave it in the garage where its safe, OK. :sarc
