Been looking at Method “bead grip” 703 and 708 8 bolt 17x9 wheels. The 703’s are close to neutral backspace at 4.6” and the 708’s are 3.5” so they would load the outer bearings more as well as increasing the turn geometry on the front axle. I think I like the looks of the 708’s better. Will cut the axles to fit from full width but would like to avoid any issues if 3.5” is not a great idea. Just looking for opinions on what’s worked or not out there. Reworking inner and outer fenders is not a big issue as I am going with tires on the upper end of the scale so the outers will be opened up and I have some rust back by the cowl on the inners that needs to be excised.
