Looking for wheels and tires for 78

I'm looking to buy a used set of wheels and tires in great shape for my 1978 LT camaro.
I like the Cragar SS or American Torque Thrust style, in 16" or 17". 10-11" in rear and 8" in front preferred.

Thanks

Will 10 or 11's be too wide for the rear of this car? I'd like to see some pictures of a member's car with a wheel/tire combination this wide.

I got some big rims on my 70. American racing TT2s
Front: 17x8" 5" Backspace 255/40R17
Rear: 17x11" 5.75" Backspace 315/35R17
They fit without modification.

I know your looking for 16 or 17" wheels but I have 18x10's on the back with 5.75" backspace and they clear. I have rolled the rear fender lips and banged in the seatbelt humps just in case.
