actually Russ I use fronts 4 3/4 BS on front with 225/50/16 and rears on rear and 5 1/4 BS rear with 245/50/16 rear with my ride height every thing clears perfect IF you run Rears on the front you can have issues on the strut rods I used 5 1/4 BS on the front of another Vair and would rub at close to full lock and with these the are close but have never touch the strut rod even at full lock with the 225 tire. On the rear I just trimmed the toe adjuster a little I think I can even use a 255/50/16 rear
On my Buicks I have always fought with back spacing and I always run as wide a tire as I can on my cars and as low as I can go for our roads in Canada.
My torque Thrust 2's I had custom made 16 X 8 - 5 1/4" BS and 16 X 7 - 4 3/4" BS made for my 65 Sportwagon and they just happen to fit all my cars very well with wide tires
