I'll assume you went with a 4.75" backspace? I have been thinking about these on my car and just can't seem to pull the trigger...I have -2 on my rear but your setup looks great.

Not sure on backspace. I told them what I wanted in lip and size, gave them a couple of measurements, and they delivered

4.75 should be real close for an 11" rim with a 3 inch/side narrowed rear. This is based off my 17x11 TT2's that I has were 7.75 bs. I plan to order my 'street' wheels in 18x11 with 4.75 bs. Should sit exactly how the TT2's did in the wheel well.
