I am thinking of using Boze Alloys Flex 5's on the front of my Valiant. I want to use 235-50-17" tires and a 17x7" wheel. What do you think for backspacing 5"? What are you guys using? Go to the Boze site and see what you think about them. Any help is appreciated.

I dont have a 67 Valiant but a 71 dart cant be too much different so I'll give you what I'm running. 15 x 7 police rallies with 225/60-15's with 4.25 inches of BS. I wouldnt think that 5 inches would hurt any but measure as much as you can before you order.
Edit: I just checked out the wheels- They look pretty good to me. I like 5 spoke wheels in general and those have a modern look to them.

lets see some pics of car, always nice to see a 67.
the 5" backspace might be cutting it close on your leafspring/tire clearance tho you may be ok with 7" rim width. front clearance should be fine. i have 18x9 with 5.72 backspace and still no clearance issues on front.
