1968 Mustang coupe needs back spacing advice for 17" by 8" wheels

i have a 68 coupe that i am in the process of installing a new suspension in. it will be 1.5" lower in the rear and 2" in the front. i want to go with 17x8" wheels all the way around but the back spacing and tire sise is a mystery to me. does anyone have any sugestions? i dont want to have to modify my car to make them fit. i just wanna squeeze them in and enjoy. thanks for any and all advice. please include pics if you have any.

thanks guys! the grid gives me an idea but its always better to talk to the people that did it and see how their rides look. thats what im hoping for. iv done things from parer before and sometimes in the real world it doesnt work. thanks again!
