Here is a pick of my car when it had 15x10s on it. If I remember correctly the backspacing was 4.5 and unless the air shocks were filled up they would rub everytime I went over a decent size bump.

I have these pics. Everything else I have is a side view with the rear on jackstands, which probably wont help you out.....

Killer: is there good clearence to the leafspring?

By the way my car is all original suspention.

and i wanna keep the lowered look i have on my car.

maby 8,5" would work if they are deep enough.

Pics and backspace info would be nice 15x8,5"-10"

Not sure if your asking for 15x8" photos but here's one anyway.  :lol2:
15x8" Rim with 275/60 BFGoodrich T/A's 4.5" Back Spacing on stock setup.

No offense Killer but that look of the wheels on your old car looks to 80's for me. The wheel sticking out past the fender is a no, no.  :grinno: :nono: All you need is some airbrush paint (bright fluorescent colors) and to lift the rear about 4ft from the ground so the leaf springs show and your an 80's hero with that wheel setup.  :lol2:

None taken. My dad was the one that put them on and even after he put them on, he thought they were too wide. I am keeping the wheels just in case I find a cheap set of slicks, but thats about it. They will be replaced by a 17 or 18x9 inch wheels because I figure that with lower profile tires they should fit without any rubbing.

I just ordered 2 rallye wheels from wheel vintiques. I wanted to put 275/60r15 on my cuda but they would not fit the stock 15x7 rims so I had to go to 15x8. $220.00 with shipping--FYI

15x8" is the way to go for the rear. What size Back spacing did you get mate?
Also, don't forget to order your trim rings.  :cheers:

295 50 R -15 with little clearance to the leaf spring.  Fit inside the wheel wells though.
