The correct back spacing wheels will put the 10.5" tires back out where they look fine. Guys were doing that "back in the day" to save weight & unsprung weight.
Sounds like fun, but I don't know how many guys like me with later cars would build another car to run it. Don't know about requiring a stick car, either. Lingenfelter ran an automatic back then. Sticks sure as heck won't do bigger wheel stands for the crowds. LOL
