Will this fit without altering trailing arms??

Boyd coddington smoothies, 17x8 with 6.5" backspacing? These are a great price right now so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Beautiful wheels. I'm sure someone will help you. The backspacing seems a little steep but I'm no expert.

Check in Mods forum, theres 2 threads about this. with spacers. The threads are bout C3 rims but the address the issue of backspacing. From what I gather theyll fit but you would need a spacer of 2inches. Doesnt seem very safe in my opinion, but thats just me. That is a good price though on some sweet rims.

It's unknown what year car these Boyds are going on but 69-82s use a steel wheel with zero offset and 4-in back space. A wheel with 6.5-in. backspace will move the wheel center inward by 2.5-in.

My guess is that will interfere with the arms and probably the rear stab. bar if the car has one.
