Default Street Lite 17x11

7.75" backspacing definitely is the ticket!!! (Never mind all the dust, just got it out)

Looks good love those wheels. Did you do 17 x7 in front? I just picked up 2 older 17x11s that say corvette fbody on box and have 8 inches of backspacing.

I had 17x9.5 7.25" backspacing all the way around. 8" BS will just move the wheels inward about 1/4 inch so it wont be much movement. Just check your clearances on that inner fender.

I had a set once just a pair of the billet specialties 17x9.5 for f body i put on the rear but had gotten a deal on them for 250$ the pair great shape with used tires. I shouldve kept them but i think sold and shipped them here on forum for same price i paid. They're really light from what i could tell.
