Question 17inch wheels to go on Kore3 brakes?

I'm looking for proven combo's for a 67 Chevelle to work with the Kore3 325mm brakes up front. I'd really like to keep 17's for looks and a bit taller side wall.
My car is %95 street but it will do some autocross racing and atleast one full day on a full road course track.

So far the only "for sure" set i've found is the Vintage wheel works V40's.

Just looking for more options and maybe a more modern style.
Thanks!

I posted in the wheels section but didn't get any reply's.

Thumbs up

I am using Budnik Famosa 17x8 and 9.5s on my kore3 front and rear setup. I am using the 325 front and 305 rear setups. Fronts work fine with no issues. I just had to use a 1/4" spacers for the rears to work (there was no pad built into the WMS). The rear wheels were originally ordered for drum brakes (back 12 years ago).

I thought I remembered reading either on here or over at PT.com that Carl Casanova (CarlC) had to use 1/4 or 5/16 spacers with the VWW he had (unsure which specific model he has) for the fronts.
