I know that the "factory Ramcharger" wheels are not aftermarket....but they FIT GREAT on B-Bodies....
I'm not sure what the backspacing is...but I'm sure a search would let you know so when you order your wheels you'll get the right offset

Factory 15x8" Ramcharger steelies have 4 1/4" backspace. They are essentially a 15x7" rim with another 1" ov dish.

Both the OEM and Wheel vintiques are indeed hubcentric. I have both, used regularly. (Stockers, black, w/ drag radials, W.V. painted body color, on my '62 Ply.) They are ring mounted, too, which is a nice feature to keep drums and rotors from warping (bottom pix). Top is '68-down "pad mount" style steelie. BOTH are hubcentric.

I've bought a set of wheel vintiques 63 series steel wheels, and those are not hub centric.
The factory wheels are.

There was a vendor selling them for $30 each at the Nats. I got one for David Hakim and the vendor had 8 left then. They were like the first pic from E-Booger with the 5 extra holes.
