Default WHEELS

Does anyone know if 6.12" of backspacing on a 17x9" rim will stick out of the fenders and look stupid on a 93 GT hatch? The car's not lowered, it will be soon, but not until I get more money, but I don't think that matters right now.

I don't have cobra axles, but I bought FRPP kit M-2300-k and it converts the brakes to 93 cobra R brakes and it comes with new rear axles and new front spindles.
