Title kinda says it all, found these https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...8441479696544/ American Racing wheels local that I'd want to run until I get some Dayton (or other brand) wire spoke wheels. This will let me see how the 17x8 size affects the handling and ride with the rest of my current setup. I realize the less sidewall will make it somewhat stiffer and a wider tire will help out my cornering to some degree.
These will go on a '77 Plymouth Volare wagon I have after that, because it should be together and running/driving this year. I am almost certain I'd need spacers, but not certain how much to be able to run what tires on them without clearance issues. I'm currently sitting on the Speedway lowering springs all the way around (1000 lb/in fronts, 350 lb/in rears if I remember correctly). I'd really like to run at least a 235 tread width, but the widest I'd want to go on a 8 inch width wheel is a 255 like I have on my 15x8 wheels on a '72 Chevy C10 I have.
I'm not opposed to running a 255 in the back and a 235 in the front, though I would certainly prefer a square setup, this car isn't carving mountain roads like my Miata, I just like my daily driver to be a bit more cool and nice overall.
tldr; Speedway springs, these wheels, what size tire can I run, and what kind of spacers will I need? Wheel and tire math is hard.
