OFFSET TRAILING ARMS BEST PRICE?
Here is yet another trailing arms question. I wish to purchase offset trailing arms so I can get 17'' wheels. I like cragar 's 61 series wheels. Which vendor sells offset trailing arms at a reasonable price? thanx in advance.

You dont need ofset arms to run 17s unless you plan to go with much wider wheels.

17"x8" with a 4" backspace should work fine as long as the wheels clear the calipers, if they don't you may need a small spacer. Shouldn't need offset T/A's unless you going with 9.5"+ wide wheels. If you want/need offset T/A's though, then Vette Brakes or Van Steel will be the best, and both are supporting vendors :cheers:
