15x8 5x5 4" Backspace?
Guys, I just want to make sure before I get the tires mounted. 15x8 5x5 4" backspace has no problems fitting on my 1972 GMC Sierra Grande, disc brakes front, drum rear? Please comfirm!

Assuming your truck isn't lowered significantly, then no, there will be no issues whatsoever with fitment.

Correct. Less backspacing makes the tires sit more "out" toward the edges of the fenders.

4" backspace is about standard. They'll fit fine

So a backspace of around 3.5" or so with a 15x8 wheel in the back would bring it out more flush to the fender?

Make sure they'll clear your tie-rod ends. I had some issues with that on mine. Should look great if they'll work!
