John62, they are wheel vintiques, style 62
Rear are 17x9 with 5.125 back space
Front 17×8 with 4.250 back space

Front Tires are 255/50R 17
Rear Tires are 275/50R 17

The wheels are great, only thing I did wrong was the tire sizes. I probably should have went with 45 series tires instead of 50's at least on the front, the front fenders had to be trimmed in the back edge at the bottom so the wheels would turn.
But, I always hated how 68-69 gto's looked with the small tires that will work in the stock wheel openings. Since the car was at the body shop we just trimmed a pie shape out of the fenders and welded them back.

In the rear you could actually, probably get a wider Tire. There's quite a bit of room back there.
