Re: American racing s 200 (feb18blacksunday)
I have the chrome steel/alloy version, bought when they were reintroduced 10-15 years ago. These things are heavy, newer aluminum type are much lighter but more pricey$ Mine have 4" backspacing, but some have said certain non oem calipers will interfere...

I have them. All in all they're pretty sweet. I almost went Torq Thrust II but wasn't sure how the car would look with the calipers so exposed. The 200s looks super sharp with black.
Mine are 15X8 with 4 in. backspacing.
kind of a lousy pic.
My only other pic on hand is my sig.

I've got the old 1 pc. cast aluminum 200S's from the 1970's the back spacing for the 8 1/2" and the 10" is 3 7/8". The 8 1/2"s fit pretty good on all 4 corners, but you will need flares for the 10"s. If anyone is interested I know where some 8 1/2"s and 10"s are...Hope this helps...Crash

If you are buying the older wheels, backspacing was very limited. Get as close to 4" as you can.
With the newer wheels backspacing should not be a problem at 4".
I went with the older TTD style wheel with the grey center, as I thought they looked better with a White car.
