9" ford guys ???

What size rim & backspacing u r running on your cars ???

No 9" can just be bolted in without narrowing. So once its built to fit a G-body I run a 15x8 wheel with 4" backspace. A 3.5" backspace will work better if you are running a tire with lots of sidewall bulge. Another option is a a 15x10 wheel with 4" backspace if you run a 26" tall tire and the back of the car is stock height. I have this setup on a 78 Lemans and it looks kinda "Ghetto" but don't put anyone in the back seat or the tires will rub.

BTW..THE BOLT PATTERN IS 5X 4.5 ???

you want 5x4.75 to match the front of the car. 5x4.5 is ford bolt pattern. Some wheels have both so that could work for you.
