17x9.5's with 5.5" backspacing will fit 68-72 Chevy A-bodies like a glove,front or back. With 5.75",they will do the same for 66-67's.

Yea what clint said, thats what I have on my 70 lemans with a 285/40 tire

17 x 9.5 will practically fall into the rear wheelwells-- yes, they will fit. 17 x 11 is typically not a problem either if you measure properly.

The 9.5's will also fit up front.

I believe the blargest size you can go with is and 17x11 with 6.75 backspacing, tires size is a 315/30/17. This measuring has to be dead on with the backspace so make sure you measure so you don't have a set of pricey paperweights. Goodluck
