Default would these wheels fit?

they are torque thrust II, Rear 18 x 10 w 255/45 x 18 tires

-Front 17 x 8 w 245/45 x 17 tires

it would go on a 74 stingray with stock suspension.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

the 17 will fit the fronts but the 18 x 10 won,t fit the back without at least moving the parking brake bracket and maybe some spacers to,than they might start to rub the fenders. you would most likely need to use some off set trailing arms.
