OK, I'm going 9" rear and converting the front of my 52 F2 to 5 bolt rims. I found some rims I like in 16" x 8". Backspacing is 5 inches.

Thanks

I know 4.5 inch backspace will work as I have had them on my truck but it depends on the width of the rear end you use as to whether the extra 1/2 inch will clear. If you used a 57-72 truck rear then you should be okay but the tire may be very close to the bed. My 48 F-3 has been converted to 5 on 4.5 all around but I am using 15x7 inch rims with 3.5 inch backspace...
