Time for me to buy wheels and tires!! please help me!!
Sorry I missed this one!
What disk brakes are you running up front?
If you're sticking with 17" rims, you should probably stay with 17x8 or 17x8.5 up front with a backspace of around 5.75", but that might change a bit depending on your brakes. More than that and most rims won't clear the outer tie rod. Still, that set up should let you run 255's up front. If you're not stuck on the 17's, move up to 18's. Those will clear the outer tie rod, so you can run more backspace. I have 18x9's with 275/35/18's on my Duster, which now has a Dart front clip. My 18x9's are a 35mm offset, but I have Dr Diff's 13" cobra kit and 3mm spacers.
In the back you should have no problem fitting 10" rims. The Street Lynx set up means you should only by limited by the stock wheel tubs. I have the springs still on my Duster, but I have a 1/2" offset so I'm pretty much just limited by the tubs as well. I have 18x10's with 295/35/18's. I did trim the inner quarter lip back about a 1/2" to make those work, but they definitely don't stick out. My car is sitting too low for that! Backspace is another story, I have a B body rear end in mine. You should be looking for around 5.75" backspace again with a 10" rim and an A-body rear.
