Won't you need a wider axle and widen the front end as well to use those? They are pretty shallow.

I think it would take about 6-8" of spacers, the 10" rims on my 69 are about the same deep as this are shallow, looks like they would put the center of the tire tread in the middle of the the inner fender. I bet you would need wider axles to fit those puppies on it!

Re: Anyone Have a set ?

I was wondering the same thing, but using C5 Corvette rears wheels on all 4 corners. 18x9". Not sure what the backs pacing is, but not as shallow as the C6 units. Might be able to get away within using 3-4" adapters?
