: Corvette wheels part II

Now I spent more time for my plan to install Corvette wheels (8,5" and 9,5"rear)on my 69`Camaro.
I read many articles about 17" wheels on first Gen Camaros on this tech line.
The results are :
front approx 17x8 with 4.5" backspacing
rear 17x9 with 5.5" bs.
but the Vette wheels have
front 8.5 " with approx 7" bs
rear 9.5" with approx 7.5" bs
The widest spacers I could get are 2". So in the rear this is o.k., but in front this is too small for the recommended backspacing.
So could anybody tell me if 5" bs at front will run ?
Or any other idea?

I think Vette Brakes may sell special spacers with studs for your application.
