TTII's Backspacing

I'm really interested in TTII's for my 82Z28. I was looking at the sizes and was wondering if this backspacing would work:
17 x 8 - fronts - 4" backspacing
17 x 9.5 - back - 5.5" backspacing
I'll put 275/40/17 in the back and 245/45/17 in the front. Does anyone else have a rims this size and how does it look and fit. I'm looking for a tight, even fit right under the wheelwell without sticking out. Thanks

That should do it. The rears won't stick out, but they'll be flush with the fender or just inside it (depending on the brand of tires you get).

Go with the 17X9.5" at all 4 corners. Yes, they will fit under the front. The 5.5" backspace will work all the way around. this will allow you to run 275-40/17 in the front too.
It fits. Trust me.
