Posted on BDR Boys as well, this is from BDR1:

"... A BDR requires a 4 1/2 backspacing on a front 8 inch wheel in 15 inch. This is generally not a problem in knock off wheels. The problem is the rear wheel. In a 15 we use a 15 by 10 with a 5 3/4 backspace. As far as I am aware there are no 15 inch knock off's with the backspacing ..."

I had been talking with 2 vintage wheel companys about this issue but I never really got anywhere. Another thing to keep in mind is that our cars have 5 drive pins on a 120mm bolt circle wich is apparently close enough to use a chebbie 4 3/4" BC.
