Default Where to find 7.5bs pro stars

I looked at jegs and summit and I can not find 5 x 4.75 7.5bs prostars or jegstars. I want them in 15x8 and the only size I can find is 15.10. Anyone know a good place? Thanks

with 15x8s you only use 6.5 backspace. 15x10s use 7.5 backspace

I guess the question is what backspacing do I need for 15x8 rims?

Isn't it 15x10 wit 7.5 and 15x8 with 5.5, there is 2" difference?
15x10 down to x8 so doesn't backspace decresase by 2" as well, from 7.5 down to 5.5 ?

I'm almost 100 positive you need a 5.5" b.s. if you are running a 8" wheel. I've run a 10" prostar and weld magnum with one being a 7.5" b.s and the other 7"b.s. so if your wheel will be two inches narrower you need to subtract that from the b.s.

15x8 with 5.5" backspacing is what you want
