Maximum front wheel backspacing - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey all - I've been looking around at wheels and I think I've settled on 19x9.5 on all four corners with 275/45/19 rubber. That said, would that fit on the front?

The exact wheels I'm looking at are ASA AR1s, 39mm offset - 6.85" backspacing.

Alternatively, the rubber I'm looking at is the Continent ExtremeContact DWS. On their website it lists the recommended rim width for their 275/45/19 sizing as 8.5 inch to 10.5 inch. Would it be advisable to mount that size tire on an 8.5 inch rim?

20s are too big for my taste. Personally I think 19s are too big, and would rather go with 18s, but I plan to put SS or CTS-V brakes on in the future and want to make sure the wheels will clear.
