That's why there were so many god-awful flare jobs and air shock/shackle kits back in the day. It's amazing that it took 30 years to get wheels with decent backspacing options. Short of narrowing the rearend (on a JL8 car, LOL) I'd recommend searching the new wheel/retro style options by companies like ET3, American, and Vintage Wheel Works. Not the same, I know, but with early Camaros and midyear Corvettes, the options are limited. (Now with Impalas and Galaxies and the full size like, you can run just about anything, but thats another story)

I have a set of the Mickey Thompson wheels Rat pack refered to.
Rat Pack , you cant get lugs for these wheels anymore ?
Is having a set machined the only option other than making the lug hole larger ?

Hugger1, I had a set machined down in length and drilled out the holes in the wheels. I did not want to machine the diameter of the lug nuts down as I was afraid that it might weaken them...................RatPack............
