The 15X8 with the 4.5 bs is perfect. The 11.9 section width might be a bit tight. I run a 275/60-15 with a 11.4" section width. So you may have to trim your outer wheel well close to your wheel lip molding.

The rear tires are 275/60-15 BF Goodrich Drag Radials on 15X8 with 4.5 backspacing, the fronts are 15X7 with 4" backspacing with BFG 225/70-15's.
Here's another pic with Hoosier's Slicks they are 29/9.0-15's they have 11.4 section width. The fronts in this pic are 215/70-15 on 15X6 with 3.5 backspacing.

Dude thanks for the cool pics. In fact im tryin to fit the same slick but its a 29-10-15. I have a set of cragars ss 15x8 with 5 1/8 bs. (Btw they are custom. Sent them to stockton wheel as 15x7 and had them add 1 in. of bs so everything would work and it did well.) Anyways their on m and h 275/60/15 tires with a 11.4 section and everything fits fine. I think im going to try a 15x8 with a 5 in. bs. with the hoosier 29 10 15 with a 11.9. I think it will work. What do you think?

I think they will be close with that extra 1/2" backspacing.
