My car started out as pretty much a purpose built drag strip/street car, and honestly is leaning a bit more towards the drag strip race car side. I'm contemplating making the switch to Pro-Touring but need a little help on my front wheels.Stock front suspension with the S-10 Blazer spindle and brake upgrade, still stock geometry and spacing. I'm wanting to run a 17 x 8.5 front wheel with a 245 or 255 series front tire, possibly even a 275/40 front tire in the end. What is the most backspacing I can get away with without contacting the tie rods etc in the 17" wheel?
This is how the car sits currently:
