Default 15 X 8 Chevy Rally Wheel backspacing

I am mounting up a set of 10" wide slicks on 15 X 8 chevy rallys. Do all chevy rallyes have 4" back spacing? I really would like a set of 15 x 8's with more back spacing to keep the tires tucked in on the wheel wells on a 68 Camaro. I see Wheel Vintiques makes custom back spaced rally's, anybody have any experience with them?

thanks

They do a great job. I have a set of 8s in the garage that are non factory. I will check the back spacing.

all of the 8" rallleye ive seen are 4" backspacing factory. i ran a set of 8" on the back and 5" on the front for a while and they never looked right, the skinnys were buried in the front and the 8" hung out. went to weld draglites (it was '93)

Indyjps hit the nail on the head. That is my problem; the 15x8's have the tires hanging out of the wheel wells on my 68 Camaro. I picked up the repro rallys which can be ordered with a deeper back space but the problem is that the center section on these don't look like the originals and I am not going to run caps. Is there anyone out there that can take apart an original rally wheel and make a custom back spaced wheel?
