Default Rear Spacing Question

I searched the site and couldn't find a straight answer on this...

I'm buying some Cragar 17x9 rims with for my '98 Z28 (5 x 4-3/4'' bolt pattern) and need to know if I need 4-1/2'' or 5-1/2'' rear spacing.

Thanks

So neither of the last two wheels from the bottom would fit my car?
