Default 3rd gen f-body wheel fitment help!

I realize this may not be the best forum for this question but, your help and insight would be appreciated.
I'm going to order 17X10's and 17X8's for my 90 camaro rag. Just want to make sure my measurements for BS are correct. Rears are 5 1/2 bs and fronts are 4 3/4. Gonna run Nitto 315/35/17 DR's on the rear and 275/40/17 NT555's in the front. Thank you for your help

You'll probably need a hammer for the front lower inner fenderwell near the LCA bracket.
Don't drive the car till you visually inspect that area for clearance.

I just put some Z06 wheels on my 88 Formula, 18x10.5 and 18x9.5 and I have no issues, 295/35/18 in the rear.

Yes, only on the fronts since I have a 98+ Rear end on the car.
I've got a 2" bolt on spacer.

here is a link of some pics where I put 17 x 9's on my 92 camaro

used 2" adapter/spacer for front and 1.5" adapter/spacer for rear

(like said above if you have 98+ rearend no need for spacers on rear)
