I have 17x9's on the rear of my 69- 4" backspace. All of the hardware on the factory T/A's is in the original location, and nothing is even close to rubbing. Your mileage may vary..
Looking back, I could have gone to 12" wide wheels and way more tire.

Hey!
I just ordered the same wheels as you are thinking about!
Boss 338
I am going to go with 255/45-18 tires up front and 275/45-18 in the back. I choosed M/H Street radials back. Hope it will work nicely!
I live in Sweden so i dont get the wheels until january, but if you could wait i will let you know if they fit.
I think i have to relocate the p-brake. and maybe remove my rear sway bar, and perhaps use some form of spacers up front but iam not sure on anything really.
I have a -69 coupé whit 550 lbs springs front, and 420 composite spring back, stock trailing arms.
