I bought some 15X8 with 4 1/2 back space for my Sprint. I mounted BF Goodrich 255R60 Radial TA's on them. I tried them on my 77 to see how they fit. They just barely touched the leaf springs so a 1/8 washer would make them fit on a stock car. Probably 4 1/4" backspace would be the max for these cars. Since I'm having a 9" built this will not be a problem for me. Other than that, they looked like they would have no clearence problems. When I put on my 14x7 magnum 500's with 4 1/4" backspacing wearing 235/60's, there was 3/4" of clearance between the driver's side tire and the leaf spring. I thought it would be sufficient, but it still rubbed a little, presumably in cornering. I went with 5/16" spacers and eliminated the problem, and they are still well inside wheel-wells due to the large backspacing.
