its a good 1 1/4" wider on each side, i have 15x10s with a 5" backspacing and 28x11.50x15s and when i had the stock 7.5 they where a 1/4" from the frame now there about a 1 1/2" away from the frame.I havnt set the body back on it yet to see how close they are to the quarter but im sure there gonna be tight.

A-body 10 bolt in my 84. My 16x8's have 5 1/8 backspace and my 17x9.5's have 6 5/8 backspacing. 5.5 backspace on a 8in rim should be perfect.

My car in the sig picture has 5.5" bs wheels and 275/60 radials or 28x9 slicks. A 5"bs wheel will work perfect since I notched the rear part of the frame where it turns out to the body mount.

So far it seems that the 4,5BS had to go :(
Time to look how much it costs

I'll see if I have any older pictures when I used 4.5's. Just sat higher in the rear. Will work though.

Hiway thanks for the pic if you can find it.
So if you have a pic, when you used 4,5Bs then it should work until i got money to change them.
The fenders are already rolled, so maybe i should be able to pull it out.
I have 275/50 Nitto drag radial yet though.
