17 X 11's will work w/5.75 back spacing
Well I finally got the pictures back on a stock 69 Cougar that were fitted with the rims/tires for my 70 cougar. The tires are 285/40/17 (11.2 inches wide) and the wheels are 17 X 11 Torque Thrust II's and have less than 100 miles on them. Can't wait to put them on and have some fun on the street. Apparently I could have the rim space for 6.75 backspacing if I wanted to max out the area. So it's nice to know I'm not max out yet.... Having over 450hp and 435ft lbs of torque should help with traction problems........on the street
