Question How much backspace for 17X7 BS streetlites

How much backspace is needed to run the 17X7 on the front of a 98 Camaro? Found a set used at a pretty good deal. Just not sure if they will work.

Also been calling around getting prices and nobody is able to tell me which ones I need.

Thanks for the help. I have asked multiple sponsors about purchasing them but none of them was able to tell me how much backspace for the front. Kinda funny they say we have sold quite a few sets or installed a few sets but have no idea what backspace they are supposed to be. LOL.

4.5-5 seems like it would be a good fit. Definitely not 17x8 w/ 4.5...

I PMed you about who I bought mine from. He told me the backspacing I needed and took care of it.

For some reason I am not able to send him a PM. I am not sure why. I have PMed and called everyone else and you would be surprised how many sponsors haven't replied or returned my call. You would think they would want the business, but I guess not.
