    Can I get a 9" rear w/discs made to any width. Do they come on the 1/2".
    The way I have it figured, I'm going to need one with a wms of 58".
    I wanted to use Billet Vintique magnum 500 wheels 17 x 8 W/ 4 1/2" backspace
    Tires: 245/45/17
    This should make the tire 3/4" from the spring (stock placement)
    And 3/4" from the inner lip of rear fender.
    Tire height shoul be around 25 3/4

    Does all of this appear to be correct?

    I would buy the tires and wheels first and mount them on the car. Then you can see how much you need to widen the rear.
