Default Repro 17" honeycombs

I bought a set of 17" honeycombs on Year One a few years back. I may be selling my 74 Formula 400 and buying a 71 GTO. I'd like to keep these wheels and swap them onto the GTO. These are the standard 17" honeycomb and I'm hoping there is no backspace difference. I'm running 27" tall 255/50/17. Any LeMans/GTO guys with the answer, if these will fit. I forget the backspace but wanna say 4.5"/5".

not sure if it helps you but the 17" Rally II wheels for the GTO use 4.5" backspace with 8" width and 5" backspace with 9" width.

I installed the YO 17" HoneyCombs on my 72. I have 255/50/17 tires. They fit quite well with no issues. The car had the original Rally2's 14" rims. I am really happy with the rims.
