would this rim fit?

would this rim fit on a 72 2wd? I just need some temp rims that are larger than 15" and found a set of these for fairly cheap. I am using belltech 3" drop spindles and airbags (if that matters) and the 15's are rubbing the control arm.

I had read that again and noticed that lol. They are all backspace, I'd just measure a little before you buy. Measure the center hole dia. and if you can get away with that backspace but I don't see why not. I'm running a 7in plus backspace on my 72 rearend and 72 front swap parts.

Also, it could be cheaper running a spacer up front. I had 3in spindles and 15x6 and used a spacer and longer studs and it didn't rub anymore. I also have bags so they came in contact in more than a set height.
