very nice choice. Reminds me of the Ronal Firehawk rims.

Nice choice.
$166 per wheel isn't bad at all either.

you have to go 10.5 or 11 inches wide in the back, you will be made that you didn't down the road.

whats the main reason for going that wide i mean will an inch make that big of a differance besides the price of tires and then not being able to rotate them with the fronts..

If you go with 10.5 or 11" you can run 315s on the back witch =looking cool and better traction.

I'm not sure about the middle area of the wheels, but I like them
Look forward to seeing them on your car when you get them....

in all honesty you should at least be able to run an 11 inch tire in the rear without any spacers, on my 84 i have 265's in the rear on stock rims, fits beautifully and i belive that comes out to about 10 inches or so. also depends on the offset of the rim.
