17 x 9.5 wheel help

[87 Grey T]

Hello everybody! Im planning on ordering a set of 17x9.5 in Centerline Eliminators for the rear. Was looking on other threads but could not find a concrete answer on backspacing. Rear susp is still factory besides Cargo coils and Monroe Sensatracs. Need some help determining a proper backspacing please 4.75?,5.00?. Wheels will have 275/40/17 BFG G FORCE TA tires. I also plan on doing a rear disc swap in the near future so will this also affect backspacing? Thanks in advance!

I asked about 17x9 so maybe this will help

4.75 is what I have on 17x9.5 and to me the ideal bs for these. that tire will be straight up without bulge and perfect.

My 17x9.5 qualifiers have a 5" backspace and im running cargo springs no rubs with a 295/mickey drag radial

Thanks for all the helpfull info. I've actually been thinking lately about goin with a 285 tire. Hopefully i wont run into any clearance issues. Ive seen some posts where they mounted right up with other modifications.

I have the same size in Centerlines also, I have 4.5" backspacing and its perfect for me.

Let us see those on the car. I'm looking at the same size. I don't want to roll fenders or any of that.

I found a replica GNX wheel that measures 17 X 9 with a + 12 offset.

Would this work?
