I'm still working on my sister's 86 MCSs.
Had a few setbacks. And am finally turning the corner on getting it back together again.
She's having difficulty deciding what she wants to do about wheels. She's leaning towards upgrading from the stock 15x7 to 17x8.
For those who have done this, did you go with 4.5" backspacing. I measured the stock wheels to have 3.75" bs. Im trying to talk her into the repro stock wheels that I'm seeing with a 4.25" bs. The American Racing VR501s that she's leaning towards come in 4.5".
I'm thinking the extra quarter inch isn't something to worry about. But since I have you guys to ask, here I am. Oh and the car is slightly lowered with a coil cut out of each corner spring.
