Looking for an inexpesive but nice option... think i might of found an option but I dont know what backspace..

Detials.. 67 camaro Mini Tubs.. Oem subframe with spc arms and ATS coil over conversion.

I al looking at these http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/wheel_detail.asp?subcat3=1011109

18 x 9.5 rear backspace..? Not a big lip fan.. like symaitry instead

17X 8 or 17x9.5 front? on oem frame... backspace?

I am open on tires but want the tires to tuck under the lip

If you are mini-tubbing why not 11" rears? Also if you are willing to spend that much Intro's are not much more

Well I guess I should explain a few things... I am only mini tubbing because my shock towers and inner wheel wells were shot.
I really don't like the look of those big lipped almost pro street wheel tire combos that are populat on PT camaros
I do like the nastalgia road racing look.

Also I am going to be using a Protigy Bar / G link so I have the option of a longer housing as well.. its a bit or a science project but will be a bit differient the most.

So what i was looking at is those Cobra Rims which are only offered in 9,5 which I think will be pretty good. I may be able to get the low under the lip look I am looking for which is tougher on the 67/8 then on the 9

And I think 17 limits your tire options..?

Backspacing? tire suggestions? based on my goals?
