Your widths look ok but your backspacing numbers are a little outta whack. A 17x8 on that car needs around 4.5" to 5" backspacing. Zero offset is around 4.5". On the rear,17x9.5 wheel will need around 5.5" backspacing. Zero offset is approx 5.25" but 5.5" is easier to get most of the time. 6" would be a little excessive for a 17x9.5 rear,IMO.
Oh yeah,you said you wanted the largest 17" rims and tires,didn't you? In that case,try some 17x9.5 fronts with 5.75" backspace and some 17x11 rears with 6.25". For tires,try some 275/40/17 fronts and 315/35/17's.
If you want a little more info,check out the Tire & Wheel database over at Team Chevelle.
