      Back Spacing-1970 Firebird/lookin' For Wheels & Tires To Buy Also !

      Hi !
      New to the board(rookie).
      Looking for someone, anyone(I know you are out there), who has maxxed out their 17" tire/wheel combo for this car(70-81).
      No rubbing, etc.
      Any info would be greatly appreciated !
      I have followed the links, no one really states if their suspensions/wheel wells/lips, etc. are modified.
      I am running a 16x9 1/2 on the back w/a 255/50/16 and 16x8 1/2 on the front w/a 225/55/16 there.
      I would like 17x11 & 17x9 or 9 & 1/2 front...prefer the latter,larger size.
      I have 700lb coils on the front, 160lb leafs on the back...
      Global West suspension front to back(no rubber on car), so, no suspension deflection to worry about.
      Right now I have about 2 inches front & 3 inches rear of space between the 16's & the wheel lip(vertical).
      I mounted the 9x1/2's on the front w/no appearant clearance issues.
      The rear measures from the widest part ov the section width ov the tire to any interference=1 & 3/4"s.
      I know someone has run a big combo w/out mod's, let me know !
      I can't get any sleep, I need to get a set soon !
      FOR SALE ?
      Let me know what ya got, cash in hand.
      Thx!
