Im planning on running a set of 255/45/17 tires on the rear of my 64 Malibu with stock wheel wells. My wheel guy tells me I need an 4 3/4" backspace for this size tire to work. That would be on Coys 17 X 8" rims. Additionally, the front will be 245/45/17 with 4" backspace. Can I get a concensus if this sounds good??? THANX PETE

With 17x8's on a 64-65,I would go with 4.75" on the front & 5" backspace on the rear.
