What are you looking for, the offsets? I run TC C5 brakes, and have 17x8 w/ 4.875" bs. The rears are 17x11 w/ 5.5 bs (axle cut down). With the stock brakes, you can run a 4.75 to 4.875" bs on the front.

BTW- this is on my 68 Firebird...

If your mini tubbing you can go with 11's and you will need a 7.25-7.75 back space on a stock width axle housing. Depending on space you open up .
