Default will these welds work on my 95 Z28?

OK so i got a local deal goin for a set of welds and the backs are 15x8 with a 4.5" backspace, the slicks mounted are 26x11.5's and the fronts are 15x3.5 with a 1.75 backspace and the tires are 165/80's.

Would these fit? if they slicks are too wide could i get a 10 or 9.5 wide slick? Are they backspacings correct?

Please if you have any info that could help me please post

I'm pretty sure the backspacing is wrong on the rear's, I know you'll need at least a 15x8 w/ 5.5 to fit 98-02 f-body rear brakes, not 100% sure about LT1's but somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.
The fronts should fit though.

good luck and I hope you get upgraded bolts so you dont snap the current ones, plus the stock bolts you wont get enough turns to secure the wheel down

Backspace is wrong, tires are really too big for the wheels, and the front tires are about the worst you can consider regarding load rating, diameter and the fact they are designed for 5-6" wheels.
