I had them, but no pics. They look awesome and fill the wheel well completely. You will have to remove your quad shocks and beat in some of the inside fenders also. You may have to roll your fenders too.

I run them on an 8.5" rim with a 5" bs. Click the coupe in my sig for some pics if you'd like. You'll more than likely need to roll the fender lip if you aren't at stock ride height.

i have the same exact set up on my lax and i ended up building a 1/4 inch wheel spacer because even after i flipper the quads they were slightly rubbing. but they look great and dont stick out at all

I have those tires on a set of 10 hole rims on the 82. I have no quad shocks, and they seem to clear everything, even with 3/4 of a coil cut. I did notice a light rub on the left rear at the fender lip, so I hammered it up last night. Worked ok tonight.
