Sorry I couldn’t figure out how to add text after the photos
Anyway...
Front 17x8 4 3/4 backspace 245 45 17
Rear 17x8. 4 backspace 255 45 17
Tires are BFG sport comp 2
Wheels torq thrust 2
There is a slight rub at full lock on the inside fender skirt
Back tire has room against frame rail but I bet a 4 1/2 bs would rub with any tire bulge

Nice looking rim and tire combination. Thanks for posting the specs. Seeing yours really makes me want to pull the trigger on some 17's....

Thanks I’m pretty happy with them , the staggered backspace front and rear makes a difference in both looks and fitment
Makes the back wheels have a fatter lip making the back rims look a little wider than front
Wish BFG had made a 255 50 17 but once I get it lowered a bit the wheel wells will look a little fuller

I have a 1980 Chevy Malibu. It currently has 215/70R14. I have a set of wheels that are 245/35R20 but are too wide. I was wondering if camaro wheels could fit. Say 2010 and beyond. If anyone has some advice, I’d appreciate it

Wheels are not measured in p-metric sizes; tire are. Different things that impact what can fit:
*Wheel width
*Wheel offset
*Tire size
*Vehicle ride height
*Suspension set-up

Camaro wheels are going to have tires as wide as that 245/35 width you posted.
