    Centerline wheel ?

    mine have a 5" backspace,and i'm runnin 265/50/15 on the rear (which are too wide for a 7" rim. it works but the tires wear in the middle). 215/60/15 in front which works good. maybe you could use a 295/50/15. 4.5" backspace might not be enough

    power amp mounting suggestions

    i've got an 86 gt vert, and just purchased a new power amp, but its much bigger than my old one and won't fit under the seat. i know most people mount them in the trunk. if i put it on the floor of the trunk, then i can't access my spare tire. so i guess i'm asking for some other options
