While I am not in the business, I have spent considerable time and effort to establish optimal specs for both the front and rear (which create very conflicting criteria). There are a lot that will fit the front, but the 4-100mm bolt pattern is a real restriction if you want 8" width in the rear. Most cars with this small bolt pattern can't handle this much rim so the manufacturers just don't make them and as far as I can tell this set is a querk. There are several in the 7.5" range and armed with the offsets provided you probably will find something. Wider is out of the question in my opinion (at least if you want to stay inside the fenders, which is an absolute must in my opinion). There are obstacles in every direction that restrict additional width. I have purchased, installed and run these rims and, yes, they fit, even on my very lowered car. There are no others within this site or any other site I have found that meet all the criteria.
