Default Will a 15x8 w/3in b/s fit under my rear end?

I found a great deal on some wheels, but im afraid they are going to stick out.. 4 15x8's with 3in b/s and 2 15x7's with 4.25,, im not exactly sure that those are the correct b/s measurements because i eyeballed it without a straight edge, but im pretty sure.. 6 wheels for 400 with newish tires.. HELP.. I know i could sell them and get my money back.. all cragar ss wheels in good shape..

If you have the stock width rearend in your car, 15x8 3 inch bs will not fit inside the wheel wells

15x7 4.25 will fit nicely

Yeah, the factory setup allows for 15x8 with~4.5" backspace. 3" b/s will be rubbing the fender/quarter when you hit bumps or corner.

Thanks guys,, I passed on the rims.. Almost bought them though.. he wanted 400 for the set of 6 with new tires on the 7's and 2 of the 8's.. I just couldnt put myself into more debt, even though I know I could have sold them off for probably more than I paid.. I will probably kick myself later for it.. Oh well..
