I have a 80' mc and I ordered some 15x8s for the front with a 4.5 bs and im wondering if it'll rub the frame when i turn?
Or will i need a spacer?

No, you should be fine..i have 17x8 with 4.5 backspace and nothing rubs. It will depend on what tires you have as well. I have 235/45/17 and i get no rub.

They won't rub the frame unless you have a 245/255 tire in front.

They can come close to the tie rod or Aftermarket A-Arm especially with a tall upper ball joint. Some trimming/shaving might be needed.. Stock A-arm/stock ball joint it should be OK.
