what kind of wheels are on it, they look really good, what size and back space. thanks

The wheels are Coys C-57's.  A few people have had problems with the chrome warranty on these wheels, but mine will never see harsh weather and I plan on keeping them clean so hopefully they will be OK.  I have been told that they are made on the same line that produces wheels for the new Camaros, among others, so the quality should be similar to a factory wheel, but who knows about any of this Chinese stuff?  Anyway, the fronts are 17x8 with 235/45/17's and the backs are 18x9.5 with 275/40/18's. Backspacing is 4.5" on the front and 5.5" on the back.  Note that I am using a 68 B-body rear end along with the Dr. Diff offset hangers to gain more space.  I went this route as I originally intended on using 11" rims with 315 tires, but budget constraints won and I went with these wheels. The is really a lot of extra space. I attached a couple of close ups of the wheels and brakes.
