The ones on my '68 Chevelle are 5" with 2.5" backspace, so the extra inch is all to the inside compared to yours.

I can't imagine you'd have any fitment problems with the backspace. I've actually been considering putting a 1/2" spacer on mine just to move them outboard a little to match up to the rears a little better. From some angles, they look like they sit way in the fender opening.
