The only way to get the specs is find the owner, haha.

Seriously, they look like PPV wheels with larger tires installed.

Did you happen to look at the link in one of my first posts? Detroit Steel, those are the wheels in that Instagram pic.

Take your pick on the size and back spacing. 18 up to 22" wheels.
They now make a new model to, check them out.
I don't think a 20" steelie would look bad at all. You might as well upsize your wheels, not many options unless you go custom or the ones that were listed.

What look are you wanting? The 5" backspace will be tucked more than the 4.5" with an 8" wheel. Of those two options, I'd personally go with the 4.5". I don't care for the "tucked in" look...prefer the tires to be flush with the fenders.

Mine are 17x9 with the -4.5" backspacing (-12mm offset).

Looks like the Cragar Soft 8s in 17x9 come in 5 and 5.5" backspacing. I'm thinking some of this is due to them being steel rather than aluminum. That said, of those options I'd go with the 5" backspacing (0 mm offset).
