Default Wheel backspacing question. HELP

Can someone please tell me what the correct backspacing is on a 87 notch? I want to get as much tire under the car as possible without any rubbing and I dont mind cutting the lip off the fender well .
I was looking at these

The 15x8 is fine but you need more backspacing to get it under the car. I have Weld 15x8 with a 275/50-15 on mine. That's about as big as you can go but you still have to take the quad shock off and do some massaging the inner wheel well.
