On top of all of the above I can't imagine that it is very safe for you to be driving around like this. My old 78Z had rims with incorrect backspacing (I bought the car with the rims already on there) and it looked pretty similar to your car with a really wide rear track. The problem is when you hit a bump and the quarter comes down on the tire- you can carve up your sidewalls and damage your quarters.

Well, it depends on how tall your tire is.

That's the aspect ratio.

What size are the tires?
