Need larger wheel size help!!!
first off I have a ECE 4-6 drop on my 68 short fleet 2wd with disc brakes

I was looking at 18x8 for the front. Come to find out they qiut making them in the 18x8" and now only offer it in the 18x9 with 5 1/2 BSM, will this work on the front? Is it to wide? (big)?

The rear is a little differnt and so I just have a backspace Question.
I wanted to use the 18x9 in the rear.
My disc brake ford 9" is 1" wider than the 71-72 style rear and so I need to find out roughly what backspacing I should use any ideas?

Here is the wheel
