Default Wheels again...

Here's another wheel question. From the different posts I've read, the backspacing seems to vary depending on who you talk to. I want to use 15" wheels... 8" wide on the front and 10" wide on the back. Some posts say use the 4-1/2" backspacing for the fronts and backs... even though the wheels are not the same depth. Then I've read to use a deeper backspacing on the rears because they're deeper. This second opinion came right from Karen at B&B. I believe she told me 4-1/2" backspacing on the front... 6" on the rear. Do I need to measure the width of my narrowed 9" rear end and see if it's the same width as the custom, tubular front end? I do not want to screw this up. I'm guessing that once you tell them how to make 'em, they're yours... right or not.
