Thanks for the reply . Iam thinking of running a 17X7 with A 4" backspace Looks like I will have plenty of room . Not sure on the tire size yet but I don't need anything too big .
What is your width and backspace?

The Fronts are 18X8.50 with 4.5 backspacing 5X4.75 bolt pattern.
The Rears are 18X9.5 with 5.25 back spacing 5X4.75 bolt pattern.
On the rears if you are running the Camaro rear end 60", wheel mount to wheel mount, you need 4.25 back spacing... that took some time and effort to figure out!!!
I'm going with a Ford 9 inch so it wasn't important to me, but I bought some one inch spacers and my wheels fit perfectly! Also the stock tires are 27 inches tall so I did tubular control arms with 1 1/2 inch shorter springs and 2 inch drop spindles.
