i have found some nice wheels but im not sure how well they would fit..
would a 7x15" wheel with 3 11/16"backspace and 6mm negative ofset fit any good in the wheelwells of a duster with springs in stock location?

this would be with MT 275/60-15 dragradials, i know the tires are a very tight fit nomather what and that the wheel is 0.5" smaller than recomended

these wheels are also available 8" wide but with the same backspace but i suspect that would bring the tire alitle to far out.. whats your thoughts?

For reference, my Duster has 275/60/15s on it with the springs in the stock location. The backspacing is 4.5", with an a-body 8-3/4 rear using 11" BBP drum brake setups (these bring the wheel out farther from the axle housing than the original a-body brake setups did by a bit I think - maybe a half inch extra?), I have 3/8" clearance from my tires to the springs as I recall - a few others with the same setups here do too.
