well now that i look, it looks like he has the 4.5s all around and what looks like stock axles. there are plenty of people running the eagle 8 spokes that are 5.5 and have less backspacing than the burners, so i would think you would be fine, just wont be able to run a huge tire.

correction, i thought the burners had more than a 4" back spacing. the 8 spokes are exactly the same width and back spacing.

Porsche has the best offset for T3. The main issue with T1 rims isnt the rear, its the front. They will rub if too low. I would bolt up some gas burners....... You could also swap out the frame head for a T1, Pie cut it, and slap on a narrowed air beam, but thats me.....
