Wheel selection help

Hey all, the wheels I have on my '55 are starting to look pretty beat. They're 15x7 chrome 8 spoke "wagon wheels" with 33x10.50's on them. The have 3.75" of backspace. I'd like to get a bit of a wider stance on the Jeep, one for stability, and two I think it will look better with the fender flares that are on it. I'm looking at some 15x8's with 2.5" backspacing. These: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PCW-99-5885R2-5/
Anyone running anything similar and have some pics? If I do the math right, the outside of the wheel will be moved outward 2.25" per side, making the track width 4.5" wider. (1" wider wheel + 1.25" more backspace) Did I figure that right?

 

I forgot to ask.... Stick with the chrome, or get black instead? I'm on the fence and cant decide...
Here's a pic of the Jeep:

 

Thanks!

 

I got mine from spidertrax.. Very (VERY) heavy duty steel with the stem moved way inboard and I gained about 4" total width.. I am very happy with them. You can kinda see the backspace here..

I just went to look at spidertrax site and they are not there anymore and I dunno who made them... Not much help am I?

Bright red CJ-5 with a tan top & chrome wheels? Sounds familiar!
My wheels are 15x8 chrome, but I don't remember the backspacing...

 

these are 15x8 atx wheels black teflon

 

33x10.5R15 KM2s on 7" rims, 2.5" backspacing. Note that this is an intermediate, so the front wheel track is already 2" wider than a CJ 27.





This Jeep now has plastic flares - it would never pass inspection without flares.

 

Thanks for all the pics guys, it really helps. I think I'm going to go with the 2.5 backspace, it'll be wider, but still under my flares
