Default please confirm backspacing.

I really don't want to post this but I just want to make sure. And to all the devas out there, I already did the research and still want to confirm....

I'm about to buy some TT II wheels. 17x9.5 and 17x11 for my 95z.

front 6.5bs and back 7.5bs? there is a lot of pics but not a whole lot of bs listings.

lastly the tire size in the back im going with 315s wondering if 325s would look better?

and for the front Im not sure. Recommend size please. 275?

Thanks.

I literally can not find a straight forward backspacing for the 17x11 in the rear for a stock rear end..... ive been searching for a few hours. Every time some one asks what is the BS and recommended tire size only the tire size gets answered and no one will throw out a BS. So anyone with the wheels and stock rear end please chime in.

I had a set of 295's on 17x11's/stock rear. BS was 7 3/4". I personally wouldn't go 7.5" on a 11" wheel it will stick out to much for me.

My car is pretty low so to me yes. If your car isn't lowered maybe not as much.
