American Eagle 211 Wheels

OK I need some help, I did a search but couldn't find the correct information I was needing. I would like to purchase a set of the American Eagle 211 series wheels in 17".

My 1st question can I run 17"x9.5" Front and Back? If so what does the backspacing need to be on each?

If I can't then what size would I need on the front with backspacing? I want to run the 17"x9.5" in the back regardless.

Truck info 83 SWB with 2.5" drop spindles in front and 4" drop leaf springs in back.

Thank you all!!

Re: American Eagle 211 Wheels

I can personally only answer 1 of the questions. You can run up to a 10" wide rim in the back. Now on the front, I'm not sure if you can run a 9.5" I would think you would run into rubbing/turning issues going that wide in the front, typically everyone sticks to an 8" wide for the front I know on my truck I have 8" wide rim.
