I have a 69 camaro that still has drum brakes all the way around. The suspension is still stock pretty much too. I was looking into ordering 17x9.5" wheels for the rear with 275/40/17 but wanted to know if they'd tuck inside my fenderwells without rubbing? For the front I was gonna run 245/40/17 on a 17x8" wheel. Would these tuck inside the fenders? I just want to make sure that they do before I order them. I am looking to have the car sit low with part of the tire tucked up under the fender to achieve the stance I want, plus I don't want to gouge up the tire or the fender. Please let me know ASAP, I sold my old wheels and need to get some new ones on. Thanks

" Luke...we will need backspacing measurments... " in my best Obi Wan voice. It should be fine if you got 5 1/2" rears and 4 1/2" fronts Welcome to the site
