Default UPDATED: New Mickey Thompson Wheels

Just got my new wheels in. They're the Mickey Thompson ET Drag wheels. The fronts are 15x3.5" 1.75" backspacing and the rears are 15x8" with 3.5" backspacing. The rears fit because my rear end is narrowed 2" on each side. My calipers were already ground for draglites but they still needed a 5/16" spacer to clear the brakes on the front face. I'll run it like this for a little bit until I get some Strange drag brakes on the car. Here are the intial mock up pics. I'll get more when the tires are mounted and they're on the car.

The wheels look pretty good on there. Is that a third gen rear? Looks like it has drums brakes from what I can see. The car could stand to be lowered a bit. It sits a little high for my taste.
