Your rear backspacing is perfect. You will need to use 4.5 inch backspacing on the front to avoid rubbing (if you plan on lowering the car). There a a few other Regal owners who I am sure will chime in.

Do you think the 17x10 with 5" BS would still fit on the inside to avoid rolling the lip?

T-CHRGD, could you post a close up pic of your front wheel bearing cap? i wanna see how boze addresses this w/ our configuration.

I think my front centerlines are 4" backspacing (can't remember for sure) & 5" backspacing rear, that is the smallest backspacing I could get with a 9.5" wide wheel.
