Default 77 OE Slotted wheel back spacing

Before I crawl under the car and measure, anyone know the back spacing for the 77 OE Slotted wheels, brushed finish with the black painted center around the lug holes?
I have some wheels I'd like to get that are 15x8 with 4" back spacing.

I seen this tread 12 hours ago, thought someone who knew for sure would answer by now. But since no one has. I am almost certain that the back space is 4and a half inches. I'm not 100 percent positive . And no I really don't wish to pull a wheel myself, (and my car is in the body shop getting some paint repair at the moment). I'm thinking that your 4 inch back space wheels are going to be trouble.

The Rally steel wheel is 4" backspace so I would be really surprised if the aluminum wheel wasn't also 4" backspace.
