I just tried these wheels on the back of my '68 Dart. I have a stock length A body 8 3/4 with bbp axles and Dr Diff's brake kit (those two push out the wheels a little bit). I had a 275/40/17 tire mounted on it and it barely rubbed the inner leaf springs. The part I'd worry about rubbing against is the inner budge found in the wheel wells. A spacer would be required.
They will fit in the wheel well with no modifications but they will hit the leafs unless you have a spacer. This is with 0.200" (or ~+5mm) of washers. Keep in mind that my brake and axle setup pushes the hub face out maybe 0.5-1.0" per side (I don't recall the number off the top of my head).
