70 442 tire fit? 16x9.5, 4.5 backspace
#2
That sounds like a potentially tight fit if you have a stock-height rear suspension (and that assumes it's not sagging from aged springs). May sit too close to your inner wheel well lips at that width / backspace combo.
Best idea might be if they're local to you is to test fit before you buy
I run 17x8's with 4.5" BS all around on my CS stock-height suspension, the rear has 1" spacers for an effective 9" track. But my tire size all around is 245-50-R17, which clear the rear wheel wells without issue - but you might be coming significantly closer (if not practically touching) to yours with the combo you're suggesting.
