Will 15" dia. Cragar S/S mag wheels (10" width) coupled with 60/275/15 tires fit on a 67' Chevelle w/o alteration. Believe backspacing is 4 to 4 1/4"

I have 265/50/15 on mine, and had to add drag bags to keep the inside lip on the quarter panel from dropping down on the tires. I think my rims are 4 inch backspacing....but I also think if I had 1/4 inch more or less (whichever would move the tire in more) I wouldn't have this problem

The cragar S/S has a 4.25 inch backspace and the "reverse" S/S has a backspace of 3.75.
Does anyone know the backspacing on the 15 X 8 Chevy rally wheel?

They probably will not fit. You really need a 15x10 wheel with at least 5.5" backspace.
