Will I have any issues putting 18X8 and a 18X10 wheels on a GM "A" Body. And what tire sizes do you recommend. Thanks.

What year is your car? With the right backspace I don't see a problem.

I'm going to run that combo rim size with 245/45 fronts and 305/45 rears. I already test fit them on my car and it's tight in the rear but clears fine.

I have a 67 GS. I am also going to do a C5 brake conversion. Will that matter? I believe the spacing is 4.5 for both the front and rear. Thanks.

I'm using the ATS spindle w/ C5 brakes and have 4.5 backspace.
On the rears, most guys w/ 10" have between 5.5" to 6" backspace depending on body style and total rear end width including brakes. Best to take careful measurements for your GS though.
