68 Chevelle Back spacing

[Rob68427]

Hello
I am planning on buying wheels soon.
And was wondering if this setup will work with a 68 chevelle.
Front: 17X8 w/ 4.5 B.S. & 245/45/17
Rear: 18X9.5 w/ 5.5 B.S. & 285/45/17
Is this back spacing good?
Does anyone have this setup?

Thanks
Rob

I recently had the same size tire and wheel (17 x 8)on the front with a 4-3/4" BS and 245/45/17. The rears I had an 18 x 10 with 6" BS and a 295/45/18. I would think your dimensions are safe. Here is a picture with them installed. I also would rely on your supplier for fitments as brake rotors will be a factor also.

My new wheels have front 18 x 9-1/2" 5.25 BS & 18 x 11 6.0 BS and they still seem to clear (disclaimer) although as you can tell I have yet to drive it yet

Tom, Thanks

I thought so, but I wanted to double & triple check, just in case.

Your car looks sweet.
