5.5" is what you need. That's about as big as you can go in the front. Rears will have room to spare.

ok thats perfect for me. i found a set of 17 x9.5 with 5.5 back spacing for 149 each wheel brand new. But will i have any issues? and what tires can i use on the front?

275 is as wide as you can go on front.

I agree with Derek on this one.

would 275/45/17 be to small??

I'd go with 275/40. It's a common size on the front of 90s Corvettes, so there's a good selection of tires available.
