Default back spacing

What is the correct back spacing for new wheels. I am looking at some American eagle racing wheels 15x8 5 on 5 bolt pattern and the back spacing is 3.25 will they fit. If not what is the minimum back spacing I need to look for.

That should be fine. Backspacing should be around 4.5" or less.
And that is only if you are installing wider tires than stock.

Check out the FAQs on the forum. They are full of basic upgrade info like this.
