      Wheel and tire sizing help please

      I'm going to pull the trigger on some wheels for my 1968 Camaro very soon. In the wheel and tire database "Jonathan" has the exact wheel and tire dimensions I want to go with, 17x8 4.5" BS 235/45/17 fronts, 17x9 5" BS 275/40/17 rears. That just so happens to be the dimensions of the wheels I want. I made my own measurements on my car and it looks like they will fit. However, I am a bit hesitant to go with that combo because multiple sources are saying that the front and rear backspacing is not correct for a 68. This is making me second guess my measurements. So if there is anyone else running that combo that can chime in it would be greatly appreciated.


      Car Specs:
      68 Camaro
      Front: stock control arms, hotckis 2" lowering springs, C5 brakes, Tall upper ball joints and tie rod ends.
      Rear: Currently all stock but going to lowered multi leafs and LS1 brakes on a 8.5" 10 bolt



      Thanks!
