An 18x9.5 with 5.5" backspace and 275/35/18 tire will work nicely on a 68-72.

I just put on some 18x10 5.5 bs with 285/40/18 out back
i wish i would of bought a 18x10 or 11 with a diff b.s i have a 1/4 gap between the tire and lip and about 2 in on the inside..and this rims are non returnable..as i was told.. they look good...but i could of got more rim and tire in...
the fronts are 17x8 4.5 bs 235/40 fits fine..
