15x8" wheels with 4" backspacing on a '69 Charger?

[pettybird]

I'm a pretty smart guy so I'm not sure why I can't wrap my head around backspacing.  I get it in technical terms but I don't know if what I want is going to fit.

I have a NASCAR clone Daytona that I really want to run Aero/Bassett type circle track wheels on.  The car currently has 15x7" cop car wheels with 275/60's, and the fronts rub.  I'd like to get 15x8" stock car wheels, but the largest offset Aero has is 4".  I've done an internet search and found rallye wheels have a 4.25" backspacing, and they're an inch narrower than what I want. 

I'd like to run 255/60 tires on the 15x8" wheels.  $64,000 question--will they fit???

i want to get a set of slots ..with  4" back space & 255s  all  round , as will be deep dish     i was going to make up a cardboard wheel & tire with those dimentions ..but have not round to it yet

I have the same size Bart stock car wheels on mine with 245/60/15 on the front and 295/50/15 at the rear, fits fine

well that was quick!  thanks!


what did you stock car wheel guys do for center caps?  anything?

[pettybird]

also, I found a company called Day Motorsports which lists part# 58-284545 as a 15x8, 5x4.5" bolt pattern, 4.5" backspacing wheel from Aero...  it's not even on their website.
