If you are doing all this just to install a bigger tire why not get a wheel with a different offset?

Have run into that many times on early A-body's with custom wheels and stock width 8.5 Abody rears or later 12 bolts. Tightest fit street/ strip deal I've ran across was with a built up '64 Malibu. Owner had some kind of brand new wheels he liked the look of. in order to get the 275/60 15's on 15x8.5's to fit, he had to order another other offset wheel and then we had to bolt the mounted tires onto the rearend, then with a big floor jack carefully roll the entire deal under the back of the car. Brake hose was attached, springs went in, then the shocks were attached. That combo fit, but not in my definition of the word... there was no taking the tear tires off without unbolting upper arms and shocks and dropping the rear down
