Well, 7.00 backspacing is recommended on a 17x9.5 for the fronts, so that would mean a 4.5 backspacing would be ideal. I'd say 4 or 4.5 would work.

USEDTOBEPROFESSA, They don't sponsor this website so I cannot post who there from, but if you PM me I can let you know. They come plain and you polish them and put your own emblem on it. I chose the bird.

BUMP FOR SOME MORE PICS, POST YOUR TIRE SIZE TOO. I WANNA SEE SOME 26" TIRES

you can see from pics online of the fbody specific streetlite it definitely tapers out sooner to clear the brakes. the non fbody looks like it has no hope of fitting. the weld prostar/draglite 7.5" bs 15x10s almost fit as they are but need a bit of caliper grinding

ive got new 275/50 hoosier QT's to go on and i still cant decide what wheels to buy. I keep thinking the weld prostars still look better even though they're ancient and trying to proven otherwise

Had them powder-coated right after BS created them. Then had the tires mounted.

It's a pretty tight fit with the stock setup/calipers. Even if it fits within the barrel, the "corvette" lettering would have to be ground off or a thin spacer would need to be used.

Anyone go less backspace then 4.5? My rear is narrowed 3 1/2 I really like how deep LS1CMR looks. Really want that super deep steam roller look. These will be for my street tires.
