fitting 17\'s
I am still looking for wheels for my 73 super right now. Since i am going to buy widened fenders, i figure i might as well go all out with the wheels. I am wondering if i get 17x7s up front, will this decrease my turning radius? Also, how much will i be able to lower the car without getting rubbing problems? Will 17's handle well, or will they just rub all over my fenders? I am gonna have to get widened fenders of like 2 or 3 inches anyways, but i was wondering what is affected by getting huge wheels like these?

Oz F1's...in Anthricite (sp) huh ? I believe a friend has a set for sale...a set of 5, in pretty decent shape...they came off his 97 cavalier, I have no idea what the back spacing, or bolt pattern is...but he traded the car in recently, and kept the wheels...they won't fit on his Camaro, so I'm sure he'd like to get rid of them...I shall ask him tomorrow, or the next time I see him...Later

heh...thanks man, but unless he's practically giving them away, i'm a little strapped for cash right now...especially since doing this is going to require new drums, rotors, tires, getting everything machined, fitted, etc etc etc...
hopefully my tax return will give my bank account a much needed cash transfusion...then a couple more months of sockin' money away...
hmph. anyone want to sponsor my car?

G'day Mate, on the track I run 17x8 inch wheels with slicks on my 71 superbug with no adaptors, standard guards & with no interference with the steering of any kind. U should have miles of room with the 17x7's.
