What wheels (photoshop request)

I have narrowed my long search to 3 rims. I want to run a 17x9.5 rim with possibly a pair of 315/35 BFG street slicks. Here are three pix of my car because I do not know which one will be the easiest for you to work with. I have also attached three rims. Can you send me three pix (one with each rim)? Thanks much I appreciate it.

Paul, what did you use for backspacing on those rims? Do you have a close up of the rear rim? I want it as deep dish as possible.

i will post a cloeup pic when i get home from work today...i have 4 wheel disk brakes on my car not sure if you do.i called centerline and they gave me one that i could use on front or back due to the rear caliper clearance my factoy rims would hit the caliper if i tried. if you have drum on the rear you can go pretty deep they told me but not sure of the numbers...

I have the wilwood pro street disc brakes in the rear. I was thinking 5" backspacing because thats the smallest they come in. If its 17x9.5, with 5" backspace does that mean I have 4.5" deep dish or does it not work this way? Also, what size tires are you using? I want 315/35 on the rear but they call for a 10-12" rim. What will that look like?

I would go with the top wheel from the wheel pics you posted, not the pics of the car. Most of those are too much IMO.
