I've read the threads on wheel sizes but I guess I need some reassurance on specific sizes before I place my order. Suspension is stock w/ front disc brakes.

I'm looking to get the Hot Wheels Sixty Eight and they do not have custom backspacing so you have to go with their standard sizes. Here it is:

Front 17x8 BS 4.5 245/40/17
Back 17x9 BS 5.0 275/40/17

If this won't work please let be know.

perfect,
but what type of brakes do you have in the rear. the reason why i ask is there are some disc type that are thicker and require a deeper bs. We switched to 5.25 due to a rear disc change. 5.0-5.5 range, measure to be sure.

I have the stock drum brakes on rear. I just bought the car today and have been reading up on what fits. By the way, this is a great place for all kinds of info. Lookin' forward to share what I learn as I go.
