i checked cragar, they dont have any 15x8 or 16x8 with a 4.5 back side, and summit racing doesnt sell anything like that either

If Cragar nor Summit don't have them, that back spacing probably doesn't exsist.

4.5 back side exists and they do have it, but they just dont make a rim the size i want with that back side. i think i figured out a solution, im just going to get .5 inch wheel spacers to push the rim out and it all should fit

That's what I'm saying. A wheel with all the specs you want might not exsist.

And I still don't really understand why with more clearence your stock wheels won't "fit" like you said.

you cant put a 35x12.5 tire on a 15x7 rim(stock rim) because the tire is to wide for the rim. so instead im just going to get 15x8 Cragars with a 4.75 back spacing and a get some 1/2 inch wheel spacers all the way around
