Factory 15x7's have 4.25" BS.

I run 235/60/15's on the front of my lowered '64 GTO (with disc brakes - which widens the track about .25") and clearance is tight.

On the rear I run 255/60/15's on the same wheels and everything clears (12 bolt rear - about 1" wider overall).

If I were you, I would be looking for 15x7's with 4.25 - 4.5" BS. For the 15x8's - add .5" (1" wider needs .5" more BS to put wheel/tire in the same position).

There are plenty of wheels available with that backspacing.

so your telling me to look for 4.25 front spacing and the rear 4.50 or 4.75. all the wheels ive looked at have 4 to 4.25 front and 4.50 in the rear for what i want. tires you use are great- do you have any clearance issues at all. i do have a ten bolt rear stock.

If it were me, I would look for 4.25 on a 7" rim for the front and 4.75 on an 8" rim on the rear, minimum.

You might get by with 4 and 4.5 - but you might not. Lots of variables that can happen from car to car over 50 years. That and you've lowered the car - which throws in additional variables.

Most quality wheels will give you multiple BS options in each size.

I also run 235/60's on front with 4.25BS .... not sure I would risk 4" BS .... Rears I use 4.5" on 8" rim... no issues.... 245/60's
