How high is that fender from the top of the tire?

I am thinking the 9" wide rim with 5"+ back spacing will put the rim awful close to the frame.

Exactly. What f'n genius thought that would be a great idea to have an Olds style rim not fit on a car without notching or spacers, or whatever? They could easily cut them with a couple of different B/S options. Or even widths. Brain surgeon.

I like them, those would look real good on my olds. Fitment might be an issue though hopefully they come out with more options on that part

Check my post 23, they are cast not billit.

One of reason I was looking at the Foose wheels was the different options in B/S and wheel size.

I'm not a fan, I like the stepped rim look and they don't offer chrome.
I'd rather pony up $3k for a set of 17" US Mags, currently looking for a set for my '88 since I swapped them out to my '85 442 and I am leaning towards these with an argent center and red stripe like the 83 H/O kinda like Gary Willards design.
I believe US Mags purchased Gary's design and had to step it back a little to cut down machine time. I like how they scaled back the trapezoidal inserts a little too:

They DID buy Gary's design? I was hoping SOMEONE bought it and would start producing these. I would sell my Centerlines and buy these if they are available. They need to repro the Olds center cap accurately...

A lot goes into a clean wheel design - rigght down to a subtle radius on the edge of a spoke or window. Foose wheels are junk... in my opinion.
