IMHO the only way to be safe and sure is to measure the particular car in
question.
This link contains the directions I used. *Back space and off set. *
Some vendors will even send you a test wheel with the back space and offset
you provide.

A A A A A A Let me explain further.
A A A A A A The 5.25" back spacing for the stock 8x15 should
directly apply
A A A to the
A A A A A A 8x17
A A A A A A for the front. A Wheel diameter doesn't affect where
the edges
A A A of the
A A A A A A tire
A A A A A A are for a given tire width and outer tire diameter. A
For a
A A A stock bodied
A A A A A A Pantera that has had its spacers removed, you can't go
any
A A A crazier than
A A A A A A a
A A A A A A 245mm wide tire on the front and sometimes you have to
drop
A A A back to 235
A A A A A A or
A A A A A A 225 depending on the particular car.
A A A A A A At the rear, if you put 1/2 the additional 1" wider
wheel width
A A A on each
A A A A A A side
A A A A A A of the wheel, all you'll get is a wider tire section
width near
A A A the rim
A A A A A A with
A A A A A A the same section width at the crown of the tread. A
For an 11"
A A A wheel vs
A A A A A A the
A A A A A A 10" Campy, a 5.75" back spacing achieves this because
it is the
A A A stock
A A A A A A 10"
A A A A A A wide Campy's 5.25" backspace + 1/2 the additional
wheel width.
A A A A The
A A A A A A tire
A A A A A A center remains at the same point on the car with
either the
A A A stock 8x15
A A A A A A Campy
A A A A A A or the 8x17. A What could be a safer choice that this?

A A A A A A Thanks Doug. But as I said, back spacing for different
size
A A A wheels
A A A A A A isn't
A A A A A A really useful. I appreciate your effort nonetheless!
