Im gonna order the new style cagar ss wheels. Front im gonna chose 17x8 with 5.44" b.s and rear 17x9 with 5.5 b.s. And im probably going to use a .25 or .5" spacer in the front and maybe in the rear. What do i have to think of, do i need to change the wheelstuds, if so, where do i buy these studs.

My "old" 17" cragar wheels with 7" width and 3.5" b.s (similar to 8" 4.5" b.s with the part that sticking out) the car looked like this(link below), and was really close to the fender lip. http://www.hyperwerks.se/magnus/wheelpos.jpg

So i hope that 8" with 5.44" b.s instead of 4.5" would be a good choice.

Thanks

You might not have to run any spacers. But if you do I'd get longer studs. I put some longer ones on my car, about 1.5" long. I got mine from Napa, they had a book that showed pictures and deminsions of a bunch of studs.
