Im sure the 17X8 will fit as well as a 18X8 without any problem other than cleaning the snout up on the brake rotor .... very common issue with 1.25'' brake rotors that a 1972 is going to have. Im guessing the 18X9.5 on the rear maybe to much. They do have 5.25'' backspacing and no other options. the 17X8 and 18X8 have 4.5'' backspacing. You could get a 20X8.5 with 4.75'' backspace , might get a little closer to fitting. they do offer a 20X8.5'', 5.25'' backspace wheel as well which Im positive would fit in the rear. I dont have a ton of experience working on the 66 and older trucks tho.
Im sure someone will chime in here.
Dont forget if you have a 1972 frame you should have the wider rear axle if nothing has been chahged there.
