If that 4.5" backspace is right, and I think it is, the rears will fit fine with clearance to spare. The fronts will fit fine, also. Do not be alarmed if the fronts hit the frame at the steering extremes when the car is jacked up. Even the stock tires will touch the frame and/or A arm when the suspension is fully extended and the steering is turned to either the left or right stop. You would never encounter this condition when driving the car.

I often wonder how many GTO, big Pontiac, and Firebirdowners have checked the front tire clearance when the car was jacked up and abandoned their wheels and/or tires when they would have been just fine.
