The MRT (Marsh Racing Wheels) Wheels arrived today, and WOW, are they nice! However, three of them were dropped on there edge between the manufacture and me, I assume by the guys in the brown truck. I've filled a claim, and have to wait 10 days to find out what they will do. So in the meantime, I've mounted the two good ones on the front and checked for clearances. I have 2" of clearance between the tire and the shock, and PS pitman arm shaft, and 1" of clearance between the tire and the grease zert on the steering arm. I also have about 9" to the fender. Not decided if I will paint them, or leave them black and orange. the center plate wound up being 1/2" thick, so I'm not using any spacers between the wheel and hub. This places the nuts in the same place as the 1/4" brake drum, and 1/4" Budd wheels. these wheels are 17x10's with a true 7.75" backspacing (3.4" more than the Budd's).
