Default Classic Mustang Polished Series 17X8's

I am planning on buying new wheels in tires in a couple months and wanted to check on the backspacing of these wheels. The website does not have any info and when I called I was told they had 5.2 inch back spacing which would not work on my 65.

Is there any way you guys can verify backspacng?

Has anyone actually puchased these wheels? Pics?

I would prefer a 4.75 backspacing. 4.5 would work but 4.75 allows for a beefier tire on a 65. It has a stock style suspension but the front has 1 inch lowering springs and the rear has 4.5 lead mid eyes which lower the car around an inch as well.

Great. Those wheels look great for the money and if they fit I will more then likely be all over them. I'd even pick them up from the Houston warehouse.

Any update on what the backspacing is on these wheels? Offset would work as well.
