3rd gen rear in 4th backspacing

I haven't got a chance to put the rear in my car, but wanted to know if anyone else had done this and what backspacing they use with 10" wheel?

Thanks, it gives me an idea of what to look for. My 8.5's with 5.5 bs, I would think, are going look like sh*t. Your car looks badass, if I can get mine to look like yours, I'll be happy.

The 3rd gen rear is 1.5" narrower per side. A 6" BS is about all you can run on a 3rd gen w/ factory axle.

I have a 17x9 w/ 6" BS on my 3rd gen & the tire is very close to the inner wheelwell. I actually run a .5" spacer to better center the wheel.
