Looking to buy some Euromeisters and all I see is 7's and 9's in 17" rims. Do the 17x9's fit in the rear with AA steel flares? If not, do they need major work (grafting in metal) or just some tugging.

John - I'd take the subjective opinion that 17's "don't look right" with a grain of salt. To some this may be the case; to others maybe not. Nobody mentioned how the wheels "didn't look right" at the track recently and certainly didn't stop them from taking pictures of the car ALL weekend long. Performance wise, the 17"s are better choice for several reasons - no need to beat that to death. Regarding the fitment, I have AA steel flares and run the 7/9 combo. I have plenty of room but also have the flared rears. I run 245 Front & 275 Rear - no issue. Tons of room up front and I run a .5" rear spacer. All the best!
PS: The weight difference is negligible - I went fairly quick. Tony   |
