Fiberfab/CMC with 16's. They're 6" wide.
I'm not sure which 17's your looking at, but if they're wider than 6" or have more offset, you'll be doing lots of Suspension mods to get them to fit a non flared Speedster

By the way. There was a comment in a previous thread about the weight of the Fuchs. I think my 16"s are lighter than the 4 bolt X 51/2" wide Chromies I had before the Fuchs.

David,
I tried putting 16" x 7" Fuchs on the rear of the swing axle Vintage
Speedster I used to have. NO GO> Without suspension mods, I don't think you'll be able to go wider than 6".
I ended up trading the 7" Fuchs for the 6" ones.
My Current Speedster is an IRS CMC. To fit the 6" x 16" Fuchs, I used a router to take the lip off the inside of the Fender wells. The rears "Just" clear the inside.

These are seriously heavy wheels, and with a 35 series tire your car will steer, corner, and ride like crap. But it's all moot, since the wheel in your link will not fit under the fender of a standard speedy without some major modifications. To fit a 7 inch wheel in the rear you will need an offset in the 46-49mm range. I believe the wheel in your link has a 38-40mm offset.
