Which is 4" for the 8 and 4.25" for the 7. If not, I will look into buying Wheel Vintiques which has different backspacing options and so does US Wheel.
To answer your specific question,... his specs are these:
15x8 (3-5/8" BS)
15x7 (4" BS)

You will have a tough time trying to run any 15" wheel up front with more than a 4" BS. (4" will require grinding on the lower a-arms)
