17x9.5 wheel size?
I have a '68 Camaro, I installed the Hotchkis lowering kit which lowered it 2in. in the front, and 1.5in. in the rear. I am looking to purchase Vintage Wheel Works V40 or V45 wheels in 17's. I 've read that a 17x9.5 with the right backspacing will fit without any rubbing issues. Is anybody currently running this size wheel, I would just like some input if I should go wit hthe 9.5 or something smaller.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

That is what I'm looking for...I like the way it looks. I guess all you can do is try it and if it doesn't work...FIX IT. Thanks for the info.
