Hey guys, this will probably be far off in the future, but i want to get some zr1 corvette wheels for my 67 buick special. (like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Gunmetal-Corvette-zr1-Camaro-Firebird-wheels-rims_W0QQitemZ270003349825QQihZ017QQcategoryZ43957 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ) What back spacing/width do i need which will work on my car? Another thing that adds into this is that I will probably be swapping the front drums out for discs at some point. (though the 4 wheel drums work crazy well, dont ask me how, haha) Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

I would highly doubt they will fit. New Vettes wheels have almost no dish on the outer part of the rim, so they would have a huge amount of backspace.
I know a guy who put newer Vette rims on his '77 Vette and he had to use really long studs and huge spacers (2+ inches) between the rims and rotors. I would be a little nervous about those long studs, being only 7/16" studs.

You would need to seriously run wheel spacers to get those in there, or they'll hit your frame.
