Default What backspacing on a 67?

I have a 67 Camaro convertible with DSE 2" drop coils and 2" drop leafs. Who is running this set-up with 18s? and what backspacing are you using? The car will not be modified to make more room for a larger tire in the rear.

18x8 w/ 5" bs and 245/40 tire on the front

18x9.5" w/ 5.5" bs (w/ disc brakes) and 275/35 tire on the rear or you can use a 275/40 to help fill the wheel well better on a 67-68, since it's a inch taller overall you will fill the wheel well a half inch more....but remember they will be taller than the front, so it's all in the look you are going for. I prefer for the front and rear sidewalls to be the same height....
