17x11 experts come inside...
Will 17x11's with a backspacing of 4.25in fit the rear of my 92Z28 without needing spacers? Also, in order to put them on would I definately have to roll the fenders and do some hammering?
Anyone out there whose running 17x11's or even 17x10's feel free to post pics and specs...

Thanks. I think that answers my fender rolling question, but he has 8in backspacing with 1.25in adapters. The rims I'm considering have 4.25in of backspacing.
So can I get them to fit??

They'll stick out past the fenders quite a bit... The total rear backspacing likes to be around 5.5" to 6" to tuck in the 17x11's... Any less backspace, and the rims will begin to stick out.

let me just say from having 18x9.5 with 5.5 inch bs i wouldnt put them 17x11's on with 5.5 bs . 6 , i think id do about 6.5 . I know kandied did this and he had to cut the bumpstops . But someone makes bumpstops that go on the shock so yuo dont need the factory bumpstops.
