It will look wierd cause tire will stick out past the fender. If your just looking for some track wheels I would buy the summit brand. There just as good.

i figured with 6.5 backspace and a 13.5 tire still in the wheel well a 5.5 backspace and 10.5 tire would still be in the well. always thought the 4.5 backspacing was always the one that gave trouble? could be wrong if so my bad.

They were on a 97 cobra so I didn't think the size would be a problem

Track wheels or not, you're gonna look like an idiot with them sticking past the fender like that.
