Are these the IROC rims? Did you use four front IROC rims or did you get a stock set from an IROC? The backspacing is different for the back IROC rims.

The front 15" IROC rims have a 0 offset (4.5" backspacing) so they should fit OK on all four corners. The rear 15" IROC Rims have a 16mm positive offset (4.9" backspacing). If you put the backs on the front they will rub. I've got four fronts on my 87 Elky.
