From what I remember they are pretty much split equally, so back space is 3.5" Depending on what tire you run they should work. I had similar style aftermarket 15x8 with 245/60 tires in the from with no clearance issues on my 64. The later models have a good bit more space than the older trucks so it should work.

That's the same style wheel that came on my 91 Suburban only they were six hole.

Beware! I had one split radially at the bead. It was on the back so it took a while to figure out why the tire wouldn't hold air. As soon as I could, I junked all four and bought a set of junkyard steel rallies. I still have them but would only use one of the remaining three in the event I had two flats and had to get to town.
