7" bs will not fit very well it will hit the sway bar and upper control arms, use a 9" wide wheel with 6" bs

well i guess anything is possible if you want to modify everything, kinda hard to modify a sway bar tho.
we ended up with a 19x9 and a 275 on the black trans am the back space was 6.5 we used our upper and lower arms and Baer brakes with the drop spindle. our arms have adjustable steering stops to prevent the wheel contact. also the car is really low and we pulled the front wheels in a bit to get it that low

I love the stance on this car. What is the rear wheel and tire set up?

I have a 10 1/2 inch x 18 on the front of my 72 but, the front is widened. The back space is only 5.4". I could have possibly gone 5.9 but it would be very close to the upper ball joint and any wider would hit for sure. I am using a Howe tall ball joint on an AFX spindle so that may not happen in your case but watch for it depending on the wheel makers lip. It will also really start to cut into your turning radius if you don't do other mods.
This is a pic of a friends wheel off his vette on my car with a spacer in between to keep it from hitting on the upper ball joint.
