wheel clearance question

Finshing resto on a 66 Merc Cyclone Gt(same body as the 66 Fairlane)..Car has 16in "Hot Wheels' on it with 4 1/2 in backspacing.. I'd like to fit Torq- Thrust D vintage wheels on it but they only come with 4 in backspace. Right now there is about 1 1/4 inch clearance to wheel well wall. Will these wheels fit in there without problems? fronts will fit fine but want a matched set. Years ago I finished a 70 roadrunner and got stuck with a full set of tires and Cragars that wouldnt fit. would like to avoid that this time.Appreciate any advice Paul
