These are 17X8 in front with 4" backspace and the rear is 17X9.5 with 5.5 backspace. With 255/50/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE730's all around. The tread is 9" wide and the tire is about 10" wide


I will have better pics soon

That is a beautiful truck 72. I was also curios and going to make a post about backspacing, did you do measurements for that backspacing, or did they just come like that?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I'm trying to get some digital pics to post. I've got some others but I haven't figured out the scanner to posting sequence yet. What I can tell you is that 4" back space up front would definitely not work on mine(it wouldn't even work w/my 68 beater w/5/7 drop.

I ordered 15x6 and 15x8s and had to get the 4-3/4" bolt circle since American doesn't sell them on a 5x5" BC with the 15x6. Next week I'm lowering the '72, re-drilling the rotors and rear axles and will be mounting the mags. Really looking forward to the new look.

Mine are also 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern & the rears are 295/40/20's. I don't know if you guys are looking a T.Thrusts or the newer II's but the newer II's have lots of different offsets compared to the originals. Kurts...that should look sweet.
