Default Need help with wheel questions

First of all, I want to put the Torq Thrust II's on my 76, and I want
17's on the front and 18's on rear. I need to know the best place to get them, along with the offset/backspace, and if anything has to be done with the suspension to make these fit right with the nice profile.
Also, what size tires to put with this wheel combo.

Second question, I have a set of polished road wheels, extremely good condition, mounted on Goodyear tires with lots of tread (haven't measured exact amount left, but they have lots of miles left in them), what is a price I should be able to get out of these?

Here is a pic to kind of show them, will post close ups when time to sell, I just want to get my new wheels first so it isn't up on jack stands for a long period of time.

Here's my buddy's '76 I did. He got the best deal at Summit by far. Plus, they mounted and balanced them right then and there. They did an outstanding job to make sure it was done correctly.
TTII - 17" w/ 4" backspace
245/45/17 tires. (can't remember brand)
