Default 15x10 to 15x8 wheels

I am currently running 15x10 wheel with a 4.5 BS and im looking for another set for street use so what my question is, if i go to a 15x8 (which i found) what would be the back spacing that i need? i found a set of wheels for a good price that are 15x8 with a 5.5in BS, will these fit? im starting to think that they wont. im not up to date on the wheel calculation stuff. thanks

standard fitment for F-body on stock rear end is 5.5 backspace for 15x8.

Is your rear end narrowed 3'' per side? If so, you are gonna need a 15x8 with 2.5'' backspace. Not sure if they make a wheel in that spec.

I think Jegs has a 3.5 bs. I have a 4.5 15x8 and they stick way out. Looking at ordering my rear shortened to make up for the bs
