Bob, if you want to keep the stock look you can have a set of 15X8 inch wheels made by cutting the center out of some 14X7's and having them welded into 15X8 blanks. That way you can put the backspacing at whatever you want. I know there's a guy selling on ebay that does that. I had a set of 14X7 SSI wheels made into 15X7 chrome plated rims. John

Yah, Stockton Wheel, or Wheelsmith, both in Cal, and they both do excellent work..however, you may want to find deeper trim rings first, they're hard to find with the factory style hole for the valve stem, then you can do some measuring so as to have the ring fit the same as your 14" inchers.
I'll try to get some pics of 15x8 SSII's we had made.
