I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you guys can help me with. I want to go with Rocket Racing Booster wheels on my 67 Firebird in these sizes:

Front: 18x8 - 4.75 backspacing
Rear: 18x9 - 5.25 backspacing

My questions are:

1: Will these sizes/backspace work?

2: Can I go with a 275/40/18 (or maybe 285) on the rear? I'm running a stock tub and have a rolled lip on the inside of the quarter.

3: What size front tire should I be going with?

4: Does anyone have any pics of these in similar sizing on a first gen f-body?

Some other info about my setup:
Will be using C5 brakes
Ridetech rear setup, coil-overs
Front is using stock spindles, Hotchkis lowering springs
I'll be using a Ford 9" rear, that I will have to narrow.


I was originally hoping to go with the Year One Pontiac Rally II in 17", but it looks like those will not fit with C5 brakes.

Thanks

Check the link to our "Reloaded" Camaro in my signature, that one had 18x9" rears with 275/40/18s on it and they fit well. We ran 17s on the front. Check the pics in Gallery 5 for completed shots.

That looks awesome, great work! And what I'm looking for as far as fitment pictures. Is the rear end in that car stock width? Thanks

I guess my next question is: If I went with the 17" up front, will this wheel clear C5 brakes?
