Wheels look great, What is the back spacing on the wheels? And what springs or how do you plan on lowering the rear?

The 0 offset is different pertaining to the different wheel size (width) in this the case the Zero offset for an 8" wheel equals 4.5 in BS and for the 9.5" wheel it equals out to be 5 in of BS.

As far as the springs those are the stockers on there I would really like to know what others used to lower there wagon as well?

WOW......I never thought you could get a rim that size to fit in the back......... I have 17x8's on my wagon and there isn't much room left. 255/45/17 tires on the back of my wagon. I used Bell Tech lowering spindles on my wagon to get the right stance up front and air shocks in the back.

Great looking wagon!! I studied the back spacing for awhile in order to fit that size back there, with the 1/4" spacer that was needed it fit great. Here is a pic looking from the front side of the rear tires just behind the back door of the wagon.

HILARIOUS!!!
Thanks the wagon was restored 12 years ago back in 2005. It's driver quality and not afraid to drive it. We drove it to the Woodward Dreamcruise a few years back. Not like my other car I had. Trailer queen!!!!!
