Default wheels for a my 69

i am looking to replace my wheels after the first of the year. my initial thoughts were the 15x8 magnum 500's. now i am considering a 17in wheel like the torque trust II. my questions are what size fits (i am thinking staggered) and will the 04 and older wheels fit? not to put factory wheels on, but to use their measurements for fitment.

i have tried searching but havent found the info i am needing.
thanks,
cameron

i have looked there. it gives tire size and rim diameter with different springs but no back spacing or offset numbers.

Hmm, maybe you just missed it. Here is a link to the 69 spreadsheet with backspacing.

You missed the second column called "Backspacing"?

i like the wheels on "jonward786"'s car.
i think the newer cars measure backspacing in mm instead of inches.
