Default foxbody question. Installing 15x8 welds on the front

Has anyone installed them on a 1989 coupe ? 15x8 with a 5 1/2" backspacing on the front. Looks like it would work . hanks for any help.

Do you know the size of the rim and the back spacing? Just need to know that mine will work. Thanks

why do you want to run those up front? you relize that welds flex very badly in corners. putting a set up front and trying to carve corners is suicidal
