Default Need help with offset and bolt pattern

I'm looking at 3 different Weld wheels. I need to know the offset for 15 x 5 fronts and 15 x 8 and 15 x 10 rears. I saw in the sticky that the bolt pattern is 4.75 inches. Thanks for any help.

don't know about the 15x5 but the 15x8 you need 5.5 backspace and for 15x10 you need 7.5 backspace.

I just called a lady at Weld and was told 4.5" backspace on 15 x 8, 4.75" bolt pattern. She didn't know the 15 x 10 numbers, which someone I know here said 7.5 as well. Thanks. Now for the decision of do I want to buy front and rear wheels and beat my inner fenderwells......

Better yet, is there a 16 x 8 wheel that is considerably lighter than the stock 5 star?? I may just go the 255-50-16 DR route.

15x8 4.5 bs is gonna stick out of the fender a little too much I think...but if weld says it is ok then it is ok. Also if you go with welds you will have to grind the brake calipers to get them to fit
