Judging by the (perfect) fit of an older set of American Racing Equipment Vector SE's that I've put on my '78--with identical specs to what you've described--they should.

Hope they work out well for you. What's the brand?

I have a 15x8 set of those that came off my '79 that I was actually just getting ready to put on eBay. Not sure of the exact backspacing measurements, but they were on a '79, so they'll definitely fit yours, if you're interested. They're in the original boxes but I just haven't put em online yet because I'm in the middle of polishing them up first.
