I think you should make room for these.

If Im having this many questions about .25" of backspacing, you guys dont want me to get started trying to make those fit.

The only other thing is the rear brakes. If you’re considering converting to rear disks you should go with more backspace. Rear disk kits usually add about a 1/4” of width to each side. With your 4” backspace wheels you’d have no extra clearance to do that, you’d need new wheels again if you added rear disks. With the 4.81’s you’d need a spacer with your current drum brakes, but if you added disks you could toss the spacers and not need new wheels.

72bluNblu you bring up very good points as always I didnt consider. In the future I would like to put a larger rear end under the car and with an 8.75 or the proper 9" it would would push the wheels out a little farther than the 8.25. Spacers would get me through till I do the swap and not have to buy new wheels. As for spacers I would go with with Billet spacers. I would consider ET lug nuts although I have plenty of engagement.
