Got a line on a set of 15x7 (two piece design) steel wheels that came off a race car. They're 4x130 and have a 4.25" backspace and I'm ok with pulling fenders if need be. But would anyone even consider these for a streeted 2056 build... what about 3L Suby ? Thoughts?

What do they look like?
Jenny had a set of widened late style 7" steelies on her silver 914 and they looked awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Sorry I didn't mention.. they are not stock wheels, here's a pic: I'd paint 'em of course.. I would run them but from the pics there's no way to fit those under stock fenders. You will need to massively pull the fenders or run GT flares to make those work. I had a set of centerline 7" with a similar offset and they just barely fit under my GT flares.

What is the max backspacing again?
Is it 4 3/8 maybe? Those don’t seem to be 4.25 and 7 inch ... |
