Drums or discs?

The 17 inch diameter wheels will clear both the drum and the discs. You will want more offset for the front wheels to keep them from sticking outside of the fender line, if you have discs on the front. As for the rear, you should be able to go with 3.5-4.0 inch offset, I believe. I think 4 inches is the stock offset for the aluminum wheels on the 88-98's. That is what my 15x8's have on the back of my '69. I went to a 15x7 on the front, when I converted the drums to discs.

I guess in theory, you would want to keep the centerline of the wheel positioned in such a way that it didn't have too much of the wheel and tire outside or inside of that centerline. Either way, and it stresses the front end. Sometimes, folks who do alignments won't mess with them. So, you might talk to an alignment shop and see what they have to say, if they know.
