The rears will be 17x91/2 with stock drums. Does the drum brakes make a difference on the backspacing because someday I would like to add disc on the rear. Also what would the max sizes and backspacing be for some 18's. Will I need to roll the lip on the rear with 17 x 9 1/2? Thanks

17X8" with a 4.75-5" b.s. and 245/45 works great. On the rears a 17X9.5" with 5.5" b.s. It will be tight to the inner wheelwell and may rub slightly there going into a driveway at a slant, but will also allow you to put discs on the rear in the future without buying new wheels. A 275/40 works very well in the rear.
