I have a 4 wheel disc brake five lug coversion I am doing on my 86, But I am wondering if anyone knows what the widest rim I can use afterwards is, and what backspacing. On both the front and back. I plan on rolling the fenders in the back for sure, it's not so important to me in the front. I was also hoping the get like a 10 1/2" rim in the back with over 275's. Possible without mini tub? I am willing to relocate my rear springs, get new lca's, and do some work on the inner fender well if need be. I just have no idea what the end results of the swap will create for needs and I have an opportunity to pick up some nice rims cheap and wanted to make sure they will work. FYI the swap is off of a 95 GT but using my rear with the new axles. Also using the 95 spindles etc.

thanks y'all
