How good will these Drag Lites Fit?

Hey guys-

I've got an 86 mustang 5.0 GT hatchback.
The car is not tubbed, i don't plan on tubbing for the time being.

I found a deal on some weld draglites.
The rears are 15x8 with 4" BS, and the fronts are 15" X 6" with 3" BS.

How will those fit? I would like to not have my tires rub and i've never put wheels on a mustang before so any info will help. If you guys have pics with similar sizes, please post! THANKS!

Erik

i'm not sure about the backspacing on mine but i have 15x8's with a 275 tire in the back and 15x3's with 165 tire up front.

they are a long ways away from rubbing.

I run 15X8 with 5 1/2" BS and they fit fine, with a little work. I had to pull the quad shocks and put in a 1/4" spacer to keep the drivers side from rubbing the inner fender well. With the 4" BS you won't rub on the inner well but the tires might stick out of the fender. With the 5 1/2" the tire tucks inside nicely.
