Very good wheel choice. You won't go wrong with them. They are a drag race wheel only. I wouldn't advise using them on the street like you would a set of welds prostars/draglites (even though those are drag wheels too).
You may want to consider our Bogart designs. Against popular believe, our wheels are less expensive. They can be designed to fit an OEM brake caliper setup without issues. Our design and the alumastars are both very good high end wheel choices. You can't really go wrong with either one.
I can build ours up to ~2.75" backspace, but you'd need drag calipers. If you're not aware, the deeper the backspace, the less dishing the wheels will have...so there is a fine line of tucking and how much dish your wheel has...it's all what you're trying to accomplish.
Good luck!

I would highly recommend the 2.25" backspace on a 3.5" wheel or a 2.75" backspace on a 4" wheel.
I run 15x4's with a 2.875" backspace and Aerospace brakes, so they fit right up without grinding.
Back in the day before I bought it, the car had Draglites with only 1.75" backspace, and it made a noticeable difference when it was switched over to more backspace in terms of both clearance and looks.
