I just checked mine and they are 15 x 8, rally wheels, I suppose that 3 3/4 is stock backspacing ??...Can't get too crazy on the size, spending my wife's money and I went from 300 for tires to about 1K total...don't want to push my luck..

No experience with that seller. I bought my 15x8's from this guy:

I called him directly to order, not through eBay. Lugs were $1/each and he threw in the valve stems. Shipped them same day I ordered and the wheels were perfect, new-in-the-box.
There have been different experiences and it may very well come down to which calipers you have (I have replacement Delco's on mine), but the 3-3/4 cleared the fronts but just barely rubbed on the rear. I wound up ordering 5/16" wheels spacers and that did the trick.
