My old torque thrusts were 16x8 in the rear and 16x7 in the front. Had 4.5 backspace on the front with no problems. The back had 4.75 and rubbed the frame. I'd go with the 4 inch backspace on the rears and the 4.5 backspace on the fronts.

On the rear I had up to 255/50 drag radials down to 225/60 street tires. The fronts always had 216/60.
