Default WHat do you think of these back space measurements?

I have a 71' Camaro that I have am almost ready to get new wheels for. I am going to run a 255/40-18 in the front on a 18x8. For the rear I am going to run a 295/35-19 ona 19x10. I have the tires and mocked them up in the rear. They are snug, but I think they will fit. I wanted to get input on the backspace measurements that I have come up with. For the rear I am looking at 6" of back space and for the front I am looking at 4-7/8" or 5" of back space. What do you guys think? Thanks, JS

Frank is right,2nd Gens don't require as much front b/s as the 1st Gen's,4.5-4.75" is good in front,6" on a 10" rear with a 295/35 tire should be perfect.

You can run at least a 245/40 up front which will help offset all the traction out back and keep it from pushing.
