You will need to measure the center hub hole to see what you have, , I don't remember exactly what is needed for the 1980's

255's up front will probably rub at full lock and 275's on the rear might be tight but just fit, they WILL fit at 4in BS

They will fit although they will be tucked in 0.5in from stock. As you probably have found, few wheel manufactures now make a 8 inch wide wheel w/ 4in backspacing and 4.5 is the default. Many here are running 8inch wide w/ 4.5BS without issue. Now to get the correct BS you'll have to go custom.

They will only rub at full lock which only happens when parking the car in a tight space. I wouldn't worry about that. You could also buy 1/2" wheel spacers and 1/2" longer wheel studs to correct the 4-1/2" bs to 4".

Yes, they will say that. But you MUST do your own homework, you must remember, they are not exactly the same as factory specs , , , and, if you do purchase these, do a fit-up BEFORE YOU MOUNT TIRES ON WHEELS , if you mount the tires, and then realize they won't work how you like, or thought, YOU CAN NOT RETURN THEM.
. Just trying to help ya not make a costly mistake. Those wheels will look great, if you cam make them work.
