I've been thru the other post.
I have a 71 Challenger with stock suspension.
I want to buy a set of Torque Thrust and will probably go with 17" or possibly 18" In rear.
I do not want to roll lips or any rubbing issues.
What would I want for back spacing and tire sizes
Thanks

Well with a larger rim there is less sidewall so 9" rim & 295 wide tire on a 18 " rim in the rear will fit easily
Backspacing is the key & others here running them will have an eact measurement but not that hard to measure it either

 I'm running 17" torque thrust with 4.5 backset 245/4  all around 8" rim. Don't think anything wider will fit up front, but you could get wider in back with 9" rim and 5" backset.
Also stock setup but lowered in front.

I have a 255/50/17 up front and the car is a tad lower than stock.
