You need a 5.5in back spacing for a 8in wheel. Summit sells weld look at like for like 100 piece.

Is 5.5bs the only size that will work?

On my radials I use 15x10 prostars with 7.5" BS. Fits perfect and doesn't rub even being lowered by BMR springs. Radials are 275/50R15 MT's. Basically the same size as your slicks.

8 inch wide wheel, you need 5.5 bs. 10 inch wide and you need 7.5 bs.
