70 nova 17in wheel ?

[brownz]

I have a 1970 chevy nova that i will be putting 2in drop spindles on with my disc brakes and iam wanting to get some wheels. I looking at the 17in CL205's I am thinking of the following wheel and tire sizes let me know what you know will work. i can roll the rear lip with no problem just want to get close to the sizes that aree known to work. I know that i should check my car but think that i can get a good idea this way. . i did check the search but would only like to get advice from people know what works

Thanks for your help in advance

Be careful with the back spacing on the front wheels. It's common to have interference with the tie rod end on drop spindles if you get too carried away with the back spacing.

ya I have found that out. I think that i will just go with a 17*7 on the front with 4in bs from what i have seen that should do the trick.
thanks
