17\" wheels for 1966 galaxie

I would like to put 17" wheels on our 1966 galaxie. Will they fit? What back space will I need for the front and back. The cars has its original drum brakes and is completly stock[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Thanks,
Kevin

Run a search, as tire size has been discussed here before. The 17's will fit and I'm thinking a max of 7" wide in front, 8" wide in rear, backspace in the 4.5" range. Dyno Tom runs a 275/60/15 tire on the rear of his and has a little room to spare.
