Default Wheel/Tire combo for 77 volare

I have a 77 plymouth volare and would like to put as big of rims, with low profiles on it, as possible. I'm not too sure what the back spacing of the volare is because i havent had much free time lately(and not gunna lie i kinda just dont wanna take the rim off) but ive read its either 4" or 4.5", so if anyone has any info about what the back spacing is too, itd be most apprecited.

Bolt-Pattern: 5x4.5
F-Body with 112.7 wheelbase
14" stock


P.S. Im not too interested in any sorts of negative feedback about wanting to put big rims on it..hear enough of it. sorry if that sounded rude.

What does "big" mean, 17", 18", or bigger?

4" to 4.5" backspacing usually works well on A-bodies. IMHO the biggest wheel I'd put on there is 17". You can get 17x7 wheels on the front, and 17x8 on the back. 225/50-17 tires on the front, 245/50-17 tires on the back. You may be able to go bigger on the tires, but you might need to start modifying the spring location (on the rear) and/or do some body work (front & rear). ANYTHING is possible, if you have the money & time. So yeah, you could get 20" wheels and 10" wide tires on there if you HAD to. IMHO they would look bad.
