Default 88' GT weld wheel backspace?

Im lookin for some new weld draglites for the front. 15x7's but im not sure what the backspacing should be. I have looked around and i see 3 1/2 for the most part but I also occasionaly see 4 1/2 as well. Anyone know what will fit without any of the wheel or tire sticking outside of the wheel well.

up front the "typical" mustang owner when slapping on some drag lites uses
15x3.5 up front w/ a 165rx15 Kuhmo front runner (which is hard to come by)
on the rear 15x7 w/ 5.5" of backspc..... At least thats what i have on my car... and nope, my et/streets do not stick out of the fender well 'maybe a 1/8 inch or so'....

Ive got 15x5 on frontwith 1/8wheel spacer .Tires arep195/65/15.They are tucked under and fit nicely .Anything wider will definitely stick out in front.
