I have been offered a set of 15x8's 4.25 back spacing -6mm offset , they have a thick set of rubber on them P295/50R15.
They look nice and meaty, but will they fit?
1994 roadmaster, with 1995 impala SS rear ax and disc breaks.
Thank you in advance!

Just about anything can be made to fit, but unless you are ready to do mods, 295 is a bit much for the front sway bar and rear fender lip clearance.

The 4.25 backspacing is more like a +6 offset.

Every chart out there shows a -6 on a 8 inch wheel having a 4.25 backspace. +6 is a 4.75
OP, use this to figure out wheel fitment.

Backspace numbers include the bead/lip while Offset doesn't.
