Wheels off of a Ramchager or Trailduster in 15x8 do exist and pop up on Ebay occasionally. I don't know about the backspacing but I would assume that what you suggest is correct or very close to that measurement. You might also want to check with Wheel Vintiques as they pretty much have or will construct any wheel you need at a reasonable price. They also offer Mopar OEM type and Police centers. I needed a pair of 10" cop wheels with zero backspacing and this arrangement even had a W.V. part number. Sometimes the 8" wheels also show up at Mopar shows and swap meets but they're fairly rare and usually pricey. Surprisingly they weren't used on most vehicles and I have never been able to determine what option or package got them factory installed. Every one I've ever seen though, has shown evidence of a hubcap being installed and has been black or white in color. I don't know if any were body color finished. One other note: there was also an 8" cop wheel used on the Volare'/Aspen SuperCoupe - R/T? These I believe may be available through YearOne or also Wheel Vintiques. Hope this is of some help and good luck in your search !
