Default Back spacing for RaceStar wheels and narrowed ford 9" -1.5" na

It has came time to order a set of race star wheels and tires for the camaro. I am looking at getting a set of 17x4.5" fronts to fit the ctsv brake upgrade, but I currently have a -1.5" (each side) narrowed ford 9". This would put the back spacing at 6". (7.5" stock -1.5" = 6")

Race star doesn't sell a 6" back spaced wheel so what would you run? 5.5" or 6.5"? And what tire for street use on a 15x10" wheel

Anyone have any wheel pictures with a narrowed 1.5" ford 9"?

You could run their 15x8 4.5"backspacing wheels with a 275/60/15. That would tuck the wheel/tire perfectly.
