Default 69 Fastback advise

First thanks for taking the time to help me out. I am a member of a few four wheel drive forums and hate answering questions that have been asked a million times before... I apologise if this is the case.

I have searched the "wheel and tire" section and it seems everything in there is geared to the newer cars.

I need some advise on wheels and tires for a 69 fastback.

I have been looking at 17x8 4/4.5 with 4.5 inch backspacing.

1) what are your thoughts on staggering the wheels and tires?

2) What wheel sizes will work without any scrubbing in the front when turning to full lock.

3) Does anyone have any pictures of a 69 with Foose Nitrous, or Legend wheels.

here is a pic from about a year ago, Ill get some more pics up soon.





Thank you for your time and input

Gabe

Thank you, I will pass that along to my wife. The 69 is hers, once it is done then I get to work on building a Factory Five Cobra for me. Once I come up with the money for it that is... too many toys not enough $

There's a guide to wheel and tire sizes for the classics floating around somewhere, but I don't have a link. Someone else surely will though.
