i am going to purchase a set of wheels for my car.i am planning on running
255/40r17 front & 275/40r17 rear.can any one tell me what the back spacing would be for 17x9.5 rear.i think front would be stock.i am also putting a 10 bolt disc brake unit in i had totally rebuilt(will that change any off sets-car came stock w/9-bolt borg-warner disc brake unit)?
wheels are torque thrust 2's
thanks
chuck

 

Since you are changing the rear axle and no one could know what length the new one is, no one can answer your question.

 

hello!
thanks for replying so quickly.
perhaps i was confusing in my description.the axle i am replacing the borg-warner(gm performance option)w/is a stock gm 10 bolt disc brake unit.by the
way both are disc brake rear ends,i think they are the same lengths? so
i guess anyone w/a 82-92 camaro w/a 10-bolt disc brake rear axle would have the same backspacing if using a 9.5"X 17" wheel.by the way i'm planning on running 275/40/17.
thanks again
chuck
p.s.
could possibly be 5.5"
backspacing

 

go with a 5.5"BS on a 9.5" wheel.

 

thanks for your help!
but was that 5.5 bs for a 3rd gen 10 bolt?
thanks

Here is a picture of 9.5" wide rear wheel with 5.5" backspacing on a stock GM 10 bolt (275 tire). You should be good with 5.5".

 

WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO KNOW THE CORRECT BACK SPACE FOR A 4TH GEN REAREND AND 11'S WOULD YA?

 

ya 7" I believe. look at this page for more info...

there are different size 11" wheels out there and some have different backspacing numbers so be careful.

 

I WANT TO GO WITH AMERICAN RACING AR 200S RIMS AND WANT TO CRAM 11'S UNDER THE BACK AND STILL HAVE IT LOOK LIKE CRAZY HAWAIIAN'S CAR IS IT POSSIBLE OR DO I GO MINI TUB?

 

you will not get that look with 11" wheels without modifying inner wheel well. There are members on this board that have 11" wheels. Do a search and see what they had to do. The wheels in my sig pic are 11" wide on a 4th gen rear and they stuck out just a bit to much for my liking.

 

The most I ever see is a 10 inch rim width, and that is rolling the fender well lips.

 

THE WHEELS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THEIR "CUSTOM SHOP" AND CAN BE ORDERED TO MY SPECS THANKS FOR THE REPLY IT GIVES ME A GOOD PLACE TO START

THATS WHAT IM WORRIED ABOUT IM NOT TRYING TO MAKE A PACO RIDE

 

So to fit 275 40 18s on my 18x9 rims. I would need a 5 inch backspace? Should i go 5.5? Im ordering spacers for vette wheels. The tires will fit too right? Thanks guys.
