They're closer to $230 each. Either way. For the 17x4.5 they only have one backspace/offset. So I'd have to go down to a 15 if anything. Or go the suspension route and see if I can pull them in; car needs suspension anyways.
Shoot this is probably really easy just unbolt your lower control arms grind off all the extra metal and redrill your k-member to move them inward.
Hell cut a slut in them, line everything up with heavy washers under the bolt/nuts tighten them down and then weld the washers to the k-member

Shorter a-arms? Then I need a tube k-member. Idk. Gunna play with some thangs will report back.
Jack it up slap a phone book on top of each tire and drop her down
Sleeprdude on YouTube would approve of this Build Bar none he likes these old Fairmont and Wagons like these ...... Just have to get used to him Calling Tires and Wheels Hoops and casings and yes He is From USA Interesting Channel to say the least ALSO Loves him some RC Cola & Vienna's and has a Bunch of goats and a Potbelly pig that drinks the RC Cola LMAO
Put C/C plates and some strange 10-ways up front and adjusted it with a degree or so of negative camber. Rolled the fenders. And it turns now. These photos are at full lock.
So if I hit a bump at full lock it'll rub. I'm cool with that. That's super rare.
The camber isn't so extreme that it looks stanced. Had to pull off the chrome trim around the wheel wells to roll the fenders. And it actually looks better without it IMO. Think the car is ready to go.

I think it'll start ruining it if I go more and I wouldn't get much more anyways. I'd have to cut to get more and I'm not doing that. This will work for now. Long term plan will be tube K with shorter A Arms and coilovers to set the height.
