Hi Graham, Before I moved up to 17" wheels, I had 15's on the Elky. In front I had 15x8 with a 4.5" backspace and 245/60/15 tires. In the rear I had 15x10 with 5.5" backspace and 295/50/15. I would think you need more than 3.75" backspace to prevent rubbing when the front wheel goes up in the fenderwell. How did you measure to come up with 3.75?

Just curious to know if anyone has 15x8 rims at all four corners, and if so, what tire size are on them? Looking to get (4) American Racing Hopsters, 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing. >From what I have read, 225-60 for the front, and 245-60 for the rear should work just fine with no rubbing.
