Stock backspacing for C3 15x8's is 4", which means your current track widths are 1" less than stock. You can intall 1/2" spacers () for correction or move the park brake cable bracket to the top of the TA if you don't mind the narrower track widths. FWIW, from my experience with many CL classic wheels, that backspacing is very possibly not 4 1/2" exactly.
