I have found a place that does refurbished rims and have the 7 X 17 fronts for 225ea. Anyone know if these will fit on the rear? Then I could go with 205/50R17 all the way around and keep the stock look

Thanks

Appreciate the help
Yep, 7x17s will fit fine and should be available for $100ea on Craigslist, here, or from Box Spec Racers. There are piles of them behind every race build shop so you shouldn't have to pay full pop retail for refurbished.
