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.

Awsome just who I was looking for a nova guy, so I have to do a 7.75 bs cause it will rub, I will be trimming the wheel wells ao i might gain a 1/2 inch of clearance. I want to order my rims soon so in 12 weeks I can have them
