I purchased a set of wheels for my Mustang from them, shipping was alittle slow but they looked great (Bullitts) and balanced just fine. Parked next to a Mustang with real Ford Bullitt wheels you could not tell the difference except for the center cap. Looking at the GN wheels, I wonder if 5" backspacing is too much for a G-body.

 

[BlackMetal]

Yes 5" backspacing would be very tight to the frame in the rear unless you have a frame notch.

 

[Hot Air]

Yes,
BS would be a problem.

5" BS WILL rub!

It will be very close, i run a 9.5" wheel with 4.75" BS and don't have a problem, and I had a friend with 17x10 with 5" and his didn't rub either. Neither has a modified frame. But i think with 5" it would depend on the luck of the draw on how centered the rearend is under the car. If you like them enough, i would get them and if you had to run a .25" spacer its really not a big deal. Good luck.
