They are either 4.5'' or 5.5'' b.s...5.5'' You shouldn't have an issue with the 275-50-15.There is the possibility you might have to remove quads due to slight rubbing but it varies car to car.The 4.5'' b.s. will push the wheel out farther tire would stick out some.

just measured and they are 4.5" backspacing. so i might need to do some fender pulling...

and for the fronts i have 3.5" draglites with 165/65 tire. will there be a problem clearing the brake calipers? i have read mixed answers on this.

15x3.5 for front are fine you should have no issues..you should try and swap for 5.5 b.s. for the rear otherwise going to be a pita..unless you put stock rear springs back in.Mock it up and see what you have before doing anything.
