I'm looking to get my wheels ordered up. I'm going with 18" Boss 338s... my question is, 83' Elco with a stock rear. What would you recommend in the rear? I can get a 18x8 with 4.5" BS, or a 18x9.5 with a 5" BS. I'm not looking to slam her down but still need the tires to tuck in the rear. I already have plans to roll the lip so I am not worried there. Thanks
 
Either one would work, as long as you don't get crazy with the tire size. I have 18x9.5 with 5.5 backspace and a 1" spacer at the moment. 5" backspace would be more ideal. I'm running 255/45/18 with a rolled lip and the car is lowered. I will run 275's next but will need to bring the tire in a little first.
 
Nice, I was hoping to run the 9.5". The malibu looks good, just did some digging through your build thread
