I think these are the wheels you ask about.
I used these rims all around with no rub with the 255's on my '76 here. The backspacing moved the rim outboard 1/2 inch plus the additional 1/2 width over stock.

My fronts with 3.5 inch backspacing with 265-50-15 have absolutely no rubbing. On the back I have 5 inch backspacing with 305-50-15s.
