Need help 65 mustang 17’’ wheel fitment


Hi Guys,
Finally, I am ready to order 17’’ wheels, trying to achieve a nice looking stance but I am overseas so I can’t really mess this up. I have to be sure. I need your help/suggestions with sizing. Obviously fitment depends on many factors but maybe there is somebody out there having a similar/same setup either on the front or rear. My front suspension is Heidt’s Superride II with 2’’ dropped spindles and 12’’ Wilwood brakes. Rear suspension is TCP G-Bar. I think, on the rear I would be OK with 17x8 4.75 BS and 235/45 or even 245/45. On the front I am not sure if I should go with 17x7 or 17x8 and what BS in both cases? Tire would be probably 225/45, right???

Thanks in advance,
Mert

I have about the same deal with Grab a Track front 620 1" Drop springs and stock sprung rear with 1" drop spacer. I am looking to order some rims and tires and want a easy bolt on and go. I need some help. I do not want to have to roll my fender lip.
