No you need more backspacing 4.5 will work.

4" BS works just fine for me.

How far does it stick out passed the fenderwheels?
Don't say it does not, because it does.. and how much air are in your rear bags?

Depending what tire you use.
Like to see pics with 4" RS.
275 60/ 15 M/T dr's on a 10" with 4.5" works great you can go bigger.

I'm not disagreeing with any of you, 4" backspace does stick out a little bit, but the question was whether or not it was POSSIBLE, and yes, it is. With everyone so concerned about the resale value of these cars I'd think more people would rather have an extra half inch of tire sticking out from their wheel well than chopping up their frame just for another .5" or 1" of backspacing on their wheel. Unless you're going with custom-made wheels sometimes you are stuck with choosing from less-than-ideal spacing options.
As Brian mentioned something like 4.5" would still fit with most tires and without doing any cutting.
Could also stick with a 8.5" or 9" wide wheel and avoid having to play tug-of-war with backspacing and frame notching.

after looking at the pics....the car sits higher, rim is too wide for the tire.
if the car was at stock ride height , it would rub the fenderlip

Tire sticks out... you can see it clearly from the first pic.. I have had many size wheels and tires ..
and a 10 inch wheel needs more than a 4.5bs to look right...
and it looks the there is about 30psi in both rear bags and looks like a Starsky and Hutch Grand Torino...

Why would you put a tiny tire like a 275/60 on a 10 inch wide wheel ?
Its only has 8 inches of tread.. it pulls the tire to wide.

This is a 10X15 w/ 4'' bs on phoenix 28.5X10.5 with no frame notch nor do I have air in the bags.
OK, let me get this straight. Hope I am helping and not confusing the issue.
My '87 current setup:
- Moog Cargo Springs in Rear - new
- Bilstein Shocks - new
- Stock upper & Lower Control Arm Bushings - new
- No Notch
- No Bags
If I bought gbodyparts 15x10 widened stock wheels w/ 4.5 B.S., and fitted them with BFG g-Force T/A Drag Radial 2 Tires (325/50R15), I would be fine? No Bags or notch needed?
My calculations say that the Section Width of the Tire would sit 1.55" closer to the frame than stock wheels with the stock 215/65R15 it has on it now. And 2.55" closer to the fender (might stick out?).
I am not arguing anything here. As I want to fit my car with the absolute FATTEST wheels & tires I can, but am scarred to death to dive in here with the investment - don't want any problems. I would just love to see it first.
I am I asking for trouble here?
