10" wheels

I have a set of 10 x 15 wheel with a 4.25" backspacing, is anyone running a set of wheels with these dimensions with a raer axle flip, is it even possible to run 4.25" back space on an 86?
If so could you please post some pics and info for me. Thanks

Is it possible? Yes. Is it optimum back-spacing? No.
5"bs centers the wheel in the well on 73-87's w/the stock rear end width. 4.25"bs & a flip kit prob results in occassional rubbing of the outer edge of the tire against the wheel-well lip.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
