No chance in #### of clearing the frame rail with a GN 8.5 and that much backspacing, even notching to the inner skin. Notching to the seam on a stock width rear won't even clear 4.5" without rubbing. How big a tire are you looking at? This is a stock width rear, 15x8 with only 4.5" BS. There's about a mile between the tire and the wheel well.

Mine is notched to the seam and I'm running a 15 x 8 rim 4.5 BS with 29 x 10 slicks. no rubbing here.
Stock GN rearend

Weird. Mine hit with both the 7.5 and my 9", needed a bare minimum 3/8" to clear.

Its pretty close Supe but it clears.

If you are set on running those wheels, than you may have to consider narrowing the rear and running the 5 inch b.s. If you run the 6.5, you will probably have to physically move the frame rails in some. Good luck in whatever you do, and the car is looking good so far. Keep us posted on your future progress.
