Backspacing on 1967 Camaro ?

Without relocating anything how much backspacing is anybody running? I want to go to a 17" rim but I don't want to change anything other than wheels and tires. Anything else, I should say. I'm putting in the 68 multileaf springs and 2" dropping blocks. I have a buttnut yellow car. Ony thoughts on wheels, other than torque thrushes ( I do like them) Just looking for suggestions.
Thanks,
SPK

I'm going with 17x8 and 4-3/4" backspacing on all four corners with 245/45's. 67 coupe, std ride height.

There are several other options. Check out the Wheels section of the tech board at http://www.camaros.net this subject has been discussed at length there recently.

For a 8 inch rim 4.5BS, for a 9.5 rim 5.5 BS(that is also front and then rear). Those are the most common numbers but some people have a little rub while others do not. It also depends on the cars stance and any other suspension mods that been done. Good Luck
