Default Wheel questions.

Hoping to have a nice 88 Mustang here shortly. I hate the wheels on it though. They're from a newer model GT (not sure of the year). 1st thing I have to do is get some new ones.

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...24009_-1_36657for the rear.

The fronts aren't listed online but they're in the catalog I have. They're 15x4's. It says:
15x4", 1.75" Rear Spacing. But under that is says...
4.75" and
4.5"

Not sure what the differences are for the 15x4", and the 4.75" and 4.5". Extra wheel widths for the front maybe???

Anyway, looking at these wheels but not sure of the widest wheel I can have for the rear and the backspacing needed for the front and rear. Anyone mind helping me out? I'm new to the Stang world. Thanks!

Scott
