Looks like someone had the same idea I had. I think these wheels look pretty good on a Spyder.

I’m guessing this is a Vintage. Does anyone know if they have the same issues with 5.5” wheels on the front as a Beck? Anyone know of this car? (Sold on BaT 3/21)

I have a long term plan of buying one and seeing if it can be made into a 4.5, with the proper offset, but I’d love to ask this owner how it worked out. (They only come in 5.5 x 15 with a 14mm offset.) FFCAA7EC-A846-44C9-90AA-55EAB50A05C1

You'd have to check with Carey but I think 5.5" will fit on the front with the proper backspacing. I believe the turning radius will be much larger as you won't be able to turn the wheels as far.

I had a conversation with Carey a few years ago about trying to put slicks on my Spyder.

I need to go through my emails. We had a conversation once about backspacing. The first time I looked at these, I figured I’d have to cut 1/4” off the front and 3/4” off the back to match the standard 4.5” steel wheels, which might be prohibitively expense if it was even possible.

I wouldn’t want to lose any clearance from what I have now. It rubs occasionally as it is now
