you might as well just get correct wheels, I would buy wheels to match the car/rear end, not shape the rear end to fit some wheels, that's not really reversible. Also if you narrow the rear end I believe you have to get new axles and whatnot... or have those narrowed too? I don't know much about them.

I just agree with everyone else, get different rims and don't use shackles, I can't wait to get rid of mine.

Besides what has already been said driving around the severely potholed roads of New Hampshire with your tires outside the fenders is a disaster waiting to happen. If you really bottom out you could wrinkle both rear quarters. Find some proper rims in a boneyard until you can do what you want. I know New Hampshire. There's a boneyard of some type every fifty feet.

all this is true accept the boneyards... theres about ONE thats a half hour away, and other than that there like 2+ hours

i have to get my 9in narrowed anyways with new axles so why not go past stock, and mini tub it.... when i get money anyways, esp since the car doesnt have to be driving until july, and id like to get everything else done so next winter i can do the motor and trans
