Default Ssr wheels on trans am help!!



So I bought some ssr wheels for the front and now I’m having difficulties finding the right size for the rear some help would be appreciated. It’s a 98 trans am stock differential and suspension not lowered or anything just need a link or a picture of what ssr wheels y’all went with in the rear I’m thinking of doing a 275 tire so I believe that a 15x8 will work this is what I found so far but the backspacing is too far off

You have to be careful when selecting fourth gen f body wheels. There are many wheels out there that simply aren't made in the correct offset since it is not the norm. This is especially true in the cheaper wheel range. You may be in a pickle.
