Mine are 15x8 with a 4 1/4" backspace to allow for a 1/4" spacer to clear the caliper. Some guys say they have trouble with them, but I got mine in the spring and have yet to have a problem.

What backspacing are you using? I'd really like to get around using spacers

I had my 1/2 inch spacers custom made out of billet aluminum. No problems in two years.

Jegs currently has the 15X8's for $119.99 (260-61815), and I'm VERY tempted.

I have vintage Cragars on mine. Were on the car when I bought it. They have at least 1/4 spacer for calilper clearance.
