Knowing the Cost of Gas is now impacting tire and shipping costs, I just purchased the tires; Sumitomo's HTR Z II's from TireRack for $475 delivered to my door. They are 275/40/18 Rear and 245/40/18 Front.

According to the database, mostly all 9" or 9.5" Rear Wheels have 5.5 BS...and the 8" Fronts have between 4 to 5, but the majority are 4.5".....

70 Chevelle BB Conv....

Is this an OK BS for these Wheels/Tires?

245/40 on 18x8 rims - 4.5 BS
275/40 on 18x9.5 rims - 5.5 BS

Thanks - Duff
