Hello, my name is rob and I own a 1971 mach1 351c4v. I bought her 13 years ago and am now putting her through her first major resto.
I am trying to figure out what back spacing and tire size to go with if i switch to 17 american racing ar500 (or vn500) which are basically an aluminum version of the magnum 500. I was wanting to go with 17x 8 all the way round, and keep all 4 tires the same size for rotation purposes. i was looking at 4.5 or 4.75 back spacing. the tire sizes I am considering are:
235/50/17
245/45/17
it has a one inch drop on all four and know I will need to the camber kit. everything else is pretty much stock.
let me know if you have any suggestions!
Thanks
Rob
