Default how much backspacing?

Hey people have an 87 thats ready for rims & tires. I know about the offset but was wondering what the backspacing would be. I was going to do the GS 17 by 9.5's but would also like to check out other options. Thanks in advance Mike

You will have to include your intended tire size !

Too much backspacing and tire and you might have problems with alignment and bearing stress .

Thats what I was told when I was running GS back spacing with 11 in rears and 315 DR's .

GS suspension is set up for big everything !
