How much weight can you shave off of an A-Body...and still have it look/drive like an A-Body?

Picked up a set of 17x8 mini lite style wheels … probably going 255 45 17 square for tires…probably be into December before my tire shop can mount them as we are deep in winter tire mode in Canada

You have front tie rod clearance with those? What backspacing/offset?
