with the specs you have listed.. no.

the 5 lug cars take a 5x4.5" not 5x4.75
the backspacing is too deep, you will probably rub HORRIBLY on the inner wheel well

you could try running a SN-95 rear end to get the extra .75" you will need in the rear

sh*t, thanks for the response man...

you think i would still rub even with rolled fender wells and quad shocks? or is that not the point, it just won't fit...
