Default Got my new rims.. Help!

So my new rims came in today, i dont have tires yet so i decided to just jack up the rear end, and see if they fit. They do, but my only concern is the quadshock. my back rims are 10.5 inches. i have about 1/4 inch between it and the rim.. so i kno with tires, it wont fit. so what are my options.. wheel spacers, better upper control arms? andy1 else have similar problems?
Help please, i want to get these babies on there..
Ben

You can also try flipping the quad shock around. I had to do that on my 87 notch.

If you get 1/4 inch spacers your tires won't stick out past the fender. I had to do that on my 90GT look @ my profile pict.

You can go on ebay and I believe you can get some upper and lowers for 160 or so. I want to see how they look on your car, solo they look awesome. Tell me if it works with the upper and lowers cause I want 10.5 in the back when I decide which rims I want.
