4.5" backspacing in the front or 3.5" on a 7" wheel. I want to keep it inside the fender. with a 225/50/15 or 225/55/15 depending on how i want the back to sit compared to the front... the 225/55/15 is close to the height of the back tire where 225/50/15 is quite a bit shorter....

bottom line

235-45-17 in front with 8inch wide wheel 17" and 5.5 backspace fit in front?

and 255-45-17 in rear 8inch wide wheel 17" and 5.5 backspace

will these all fit 101% and no rubbing?

cause lots of opinions on here
