Default Weld RT-S Wheel Sizes Question

Hey guys,

I'm looking at purchasing a pair of rear wheels (17x9) as a drag set-up - Weld RT-S. I definitely like these wheels, as they can fit over the bigger rotor/caliper combinations. Looks like Hinson Motorsports sells them specific to the C6 sizes. Do you know if the listed 17x9 is in the correct back-space for the C6 rear.

Also - Those of you that have these, do you have a recommended backspacing or pad height?

Thanks!

Info From Hinson
---------------------
Size - 17x9
Backspace - 6.8"
Finish - Black
Application - 2005+ Corvette C6 (Not Z06 & ZR1)
