Too wide! 993 widebody on early chassis wheel survey.

So I am building a 1973 race car with a 993 widebody kit on it.

The rear suspension has non-turbo trailing arms which means the rear hubs are more inboard than with turbo trailing arms. Never mind the pros and cons of one or the other, I'm stuck with the non-turbo arms.

The problem is the rear wheels. To fill the rear wheel wells with 11" wheels I'm gonna need approximately 3.5" backspacing. Pretty shallow. (ETA: I actually will need 4.0 to 4.5" BS)

So those with a wide body kit and narrow trailing arms, what have you done for rear wheels?
