Im running 17x8 on the front with 5 1/4 BS. Its pretty close to my extended tie rod ends, so 5 1/8 would be perfect. You will want close to 5 to get the outside of the tire away from the fender while turning. Running SC&C uppers, extra tall upper ball joint, stock spindles, and 98-02 Camaro LS1 brakes.

On the rear I have 17x11 with 7 3/4 BS with a stock width 12 bolt and disc brakes. Fits perfect with room to tuck the tires and have plenty of room on the backside too. 7" BS would rub the inner fender well on my particular car.
Setup is Caltrac split mono's with S-10 11" discs.
