wheel spec problems

i have a set of american racing torque thrust m wheels the backs are 17x10.5 and fit fine with or without the 1 inch spacer i just didnt want to cut my bumpstops off because i already only have about an inch of suspension travel. my front wheels are 17x9.5 with a 45mm offset and a 6.75 rear spacing. i know that is not the correct size to fit a rim of that size on my car and was wondering if those rims are made in a 17x9 and if so what specs do i need to fit them on my car. its a 1992 firebird 305 tbi that im in the process of dropping in a 383 and carb swap.

Re: wheel spec problems

Once you decide on front brakes, then order spacers to keep the 9.5s. If you get it right, they'll tuck just fine.
