Call Billet Specialties. They should be able to provide you with exact information per your vehicle.

I had a set of 17x9.5" Intro wheels on my car for a few years. (they're for sale, I want to go in a different direction) The backspacing is 7.125", and that set the tires in a good place for clearance all around, using a 275/40/17 tire.
