I was wondering if I can fit a set of 17 inch rims with a 4.5 back spacing on my Stock 64 Nova SS. I don't want to make any modifacations, since I am trying to keep it all stock. If they will fit, can I go with a larger back space?and what size tires should I use?

Please post pics of your rides with 17 inch rims,so I can see what they would look like.. Thanks guys

Gomezmk-I love your 63. What size are the front wheels and what size are the 4 tires. Are you saying that If I went with 17x8 with a 4.5 back space I could put that size all the way around on my 1964 SS?

I really don't want a smaller wheel in front if at all possible... Again what are the wheel sizes all the way around and what size are the tires..

Thanks for all your help guys

If I wanted to put the same size all around, would I need to go with 17x7's with a 4.5 BS??
