Need Help From Wheel Expert!

I am ordering my new rims ASAP I would like to put the order in but could someone please confirm that this is what I need for 17x9.5 fronts the backspacing should be 5.5 and for 17x11 rears it should be 6" backspacing? For the fronts I don't need to do any modification to make htem fit and for the back I will be running 315s so I will need to cut the wheel lip a bit and bang the crap out of the inner wheel well? Is this correct? Please let me know only if you know 100% for sure because I'm about to drop $2400 on rims and I want to make sure I order the right ones. Thanx

for the front, you will need to grind a little off the tie rods to clear the wheel. as far as the back with 6" you may need to dent in the inner fenderwell so the tire won't rub in corners. i tried some '99 corvette 18 x 9.5 wheels. they had 6.5" backspacing and hit.
