I used the standard 4.5 backspace on mine. Here is a link that could help you get the measurements to determine if they will fit.

Thanks for the reply rudy62 was hoping someone had experience with the size and offset in front, but I'll start doing some measuring. Thanks again bud

I have 8.5" wide rims in front with 5.25" BS, I think your ok there with the 8" rim.
The 12" rim 7.5" BS, I don't think will work without some mods to the wheel tubs.
I run a 10" wheel with 4.5" BS and fits, I think that's about as wide as I can fit without some trimming. Remember, a 12" wide wheel is really 13" wide from lip to lip.

Cool thanks. Ya planned on widening the tubs.

Good deal.
I would think you would need somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.5-3" wider wheel tubs with the 7.5" BS. Might want to poke in there and see what other mods have to get done to widen them up that far as well.
