What backspace for an 15x8.5" wheel?

Would 4 7/8" backspace work for this? I don't think so but i'd like to be sure.

The edge of the tire will be about 1/2" outside the upper fender line, or about 1" farther out than this:



Whether that particular 15" wheel will even fit over the 4th Gen caliper is another question.

They are 15x10 7.5" BS Weld Pro-Stars with 28x10.5-15W ET Drags. All the info is in a post in the FAQ stickied at the top of the "Wheels and Tires" topic page.
