17's all around, have held up great for the past 5 years. wish I had gotten 18's in the rear though.

I have the chrome c-5. 18X8 on my 77. I like the way they look.

Hi 7t9l82,
I went with the 18"X8" with 4 inch backspace. The backspace is the same as stock. I believe you could go with 4.5" backspace with some adjustments but I wanted to keep it simple.
The tires are 245/45/18 front and 255/45/18 back. I believe others have gone larger in the back but I didn't want to have any possible rubbing issues so these sizes seemed to work out the best.
My photo shows a little more gap between the tires and the wheel well than I like, but I am in the process of replacing the front and rear suspension components so the car will be lowered by up to an inch at the tires when it is all done.
Hope this helps.

well thats good news but just got an email from coys stating they no longer do a 5" backspace. not sure what to do with this. maybe back to centerline , and more money
