Rocket wheels advice

[Higgi56]

So after much research and deliberation I have decided on the following rocket wheels for my 33 hot rod (without fenders).

Rocket Booster Series, Hyper Shot

Front 18x8, 4.5" backspace, 5x4.5 bolt pattern (Rocket Racing R16-886547)
Rear 20x10, 5.5" backspace, 5x4.5 bolt pattern (Rocket Racing R16-2106555)

I was going to run approximately the recommended tire sizes
Front: 245/40/R18
Rear: 305/25/R20

Any comments or advice before I push the purchase button?

Thanks in advance.

These happen to be the same wheels I've been looking at, I'd love to see how they look on the car.

Does the size make sense to you? Based on my math I'd have 25.72" tall in front and 26" tall in rear.

I would love to see these wheels on a 33. I was thinking of getting these. I keep seeing conflicting info on back spacing with IRS. Can anyone confirm what backspacing will work? Is it the same as solid axle?

I have :
Front: 17x8 with 5” Backspacing
Rear: 19x10 with 4” Backspacing
Tires:
Front: 245/40ZR17 95Y
Rear: 285/35ZR19 99W
Probably could have gone with 5" backspace on rear, however I like the wider stance. Had to modify rear fenders and changed rear coilovers to AFCO 3860 Eliminator Coil-Over Shock, Double Adjustable, 6 Inch Stroke with 250lb coils to get enough height. I have more than enough adjustment on rear now, they are set to about mid point.
