15 X 8 and 15 X 6 SSII wheels on 1980 Cutlass?

[PJM99]

Got a line on some SSII wheels. A friend of mine order some SSII wheels from wheel vintiques last year and has decided to go a different route. He sold his 72 Cutlass and now wants to sell the wheels. I was wondering if they would fit my 1980 Cutlass Calais? I can figure out what to get for tires later on, but I need to know if the rims would work. I wonder if I'd be better of with 15 X 7 all around?

Wheel sizes...

Rear 15 X 8 with 4.50 in backspacing

Front 15 X 7 with 4.25 in backspacing

hmm, I think my best bet would be to go with 15 X 7 with 4.25 in backspacing all around. Maybe get some spacers if needed be. Per that article 1987 442 Chrome were 15x7 4" So the 4.25 could work.
