15x8 wheel fitment

I’m looking to buy a set of 15x8 wheels with 5.5 inch back spacing for the rear of my 1984 z28 at stock height. Can y’all post any pics of similar setups or give any info on if this is a good wheel size? Not sure what size tire I’m planning to go with yet so feel free to post any recommendations in that as well, thanks very much!

Re: 15x8 wheel fitment

If you click on my picture, on the back are 15x8 jegs wheel that is basically a weld knock-off, with 275/65R15 Cooper Cobras. I think that the same backspacing you're talking about too (5.5") though at this point I can't remember.

4.5" of backspacing is what you want. 5.5 won't for the front
