They need to be 5.5" backspacing if they are 15x8s. You'll more than likely have to grind the calipers to make them fit.

For the two sizes you posted

15x8--5.5 backspacing
15x3.5--1 3/4" backspacing

I would suggest running a 15x4 on the front, and a 15x10 with a 7.5 BS. I'm running a 15x3.5 and have to run a spacer on the front due to the lack of clearance....

You have to run a spacer with the 15x4s as well
