The frame is deep notched but the tubs are stock. It's a 5 inch backspace but I could go 5.5.
 
I will have to take the wheels off and measure, the rear have a hair too much as the tread slightly kisses the frame on the upper rears during hard corners on the Autocross. This is with the factory rubber upper control arm bushings. I just installed UMI uppers w/ poly.
As a note, the car is not lowered except for sag. I have SSB rear disc brake kit, probably the same as aluminum drums and no rolled fenders, although I have the trim removed for a smoother look.
The front is the same as '86 Corvette 16x8.5 w/ 1.5in. wheel adapter/ spacer, previous wheels.
The front left rubbed on the lower A arm at full left turn lock while drifting/ excelerating out of a turn (tire twisting on rim trying to grab ahold of some asphalt trying to keep the ass end from coming around, to no avail) until I tweaked the A arm a bit. I will measure as I bought these in '91 or '92 and just don't remember.
I have had 295/50-15 Hoosier quick times on 15x8 AR outlaw wheels for the straight line, however I didn't measure backspace on those.

I like the Convo Pros on my buddy's t-top GN. I wish I had a better pic of his car and wheels to post. His custom, one off, stock hood is pretty sweet too.

Wheel combo looks great brother. I had the same wheels/size on my 69 Camaro at one point before I sold it. I blacked out the centerpiece and polished the lips.
