15x8 4.5" bs questions. front/back
ive searched the threads for info, but cant find what im looking for.
im about to order some weld pro stars. im thinking about running 275/60/15 on the back and a smaller size on the front, also id like to have the option of running the same size tire in all four corners when i want, that way i can rotate them. so question is, would a 15x8 wheel with 4.5" back spacing be a good choice for what im wanting? will a 15x8 with 4.5" bs even fit on the front? that way i can run a bigger tire in the back and smaller tire in the front when i want to, and then same size on all four when i want to. hope this makes since. i for sure want 15x8 wheels.
thanks for the help!

Idk about how they'd fit up front, I think it'd be tight, but possible?
Here's what it will look like on the back, 15x8, 4.5 bs, w/275 60 R15s
