Hello,

I'm considering a set of polished cookie cutter wheels (I love the looks of them and they're not that common) and was wondering if I would be better off playing it safe getting a 6 inch set, or will a 7 inch set work? My car does NOT have flaired fenders and I'm not considering putting them on in the near future.

How much backspacing room do I have in there? I'll check to see what the backspacing is on the wheels.

Thanks for any info...

where are you getting your wheels from?

e-bay or your local PCA chapter is the best place to look for wheels.

if you call one of the auto-breakers, you will pay alot more for the same thing. I have done it both ways for fuchs and cookies.
