rims and tire back spacing


My cars been at the shop for a few months( delays of course ) so I'm wondering if anyone knows the back spacing and height of the 1967 Pontiac Laurentian.

it is a 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern right? or 120.65 mm whatever something like that.

Not most of your guys style but I'm sinking 22's in there so its got to be pretty on the ball.
total whell with tire height too please.

thanks

If it helps:
With a 235 70 15 tire on 8.5" rim with 3.75" backspace, I had 1 baby finger space on one wheelwell lip and one paper sheet space on the other wheelwell on the rear end.
With the same thing on the front, the tire would touch the front of the fender left side on a hard left turn with a bump. It hit the right side frame with a hard right in reverse. I now have 7" wheels with 3.75" backspace and 235 70 15 tires.
