I cant log onto nasty because nasty is blocked by the filter here at work. So, Im looking to fix my tire rubbing problem with going to a 15x7 inch rim from a 15x8. I need to know what back spacing should I look for?

try anonymouse.org to get around the filter

someone on ls1tech did (for their 72)
Front: 17x8" 5" Backspace 245/40WR17
Rear: 17x11" 5.75" Backspace 315/35WR17

15X8 w/4.5" BS 295/50R15
15X7 w/4" BS 295/50R15

16X8 w 4.5" BS 255/50/16
16x8 w 5" BS 245/50/16

these are KNOWN to work, as in people are using them.
