Getting new wheels...What is the backspacing?

Im going to get some 15x8 Corvette ralleys soon just for the fact that they look great and you don't see alot of ThirdGens with them. Anyways, I need to know what kind of backspacing I need to get these to fit.

None, they should fit perfectly.


By the way, the back spacing is 4in"

There is a 15x8 with a 4.5 in. backspacing and one with a 5 in. backspacing. I assume I need the 4.5, right?
