Had a buddy swing by with a set of cragars 15 x 9, 4.5 B'space for rears which is fine but his fronts are 15x8 but with a 2 3/4 B'space there mint but don't know if they'll fit my car (70 Roadrunner) is at body shop so I can't just throw them on .... Was wondering if they'll fit backspace seems too little have disc brakes up front any help is appreciated as he's looking to sell them and they are mint
Thanks in advance , Pat

I think most rims would need 4 inches to fit the front.
I would hold off on them.
 
Negative offsets were very popular on the rear of the car back in the 60's and 70's. You put that on the front the wheel will have a very large radii when turning. Could rub fender.

I am looking also for a nice vintage cragar ss 15x8 or 9 with the 4.5BS that are not unilug for my rears. Did you purchase these from your friend?
If not, I would be interested.
