15x8” with a 5.5” backspace? Nope.

With a 15” rim you usually max out on backspace well before you get to 5” of backspace. The rim hits the brakes, ball joint, upper control arm, etc. A 4.5” backspace clears the suspension/brakes with a 15” rim, but you can’t get much more than that without interference.

Heck a 17x8” is pretty much maxed at 5.6” of backspace, hits the outer tie rod end after that.
 
Sigh....i really hate trying to find wheels for mopars. Its the only bad thing about em...almost NO wheels come with different offsets/BS in 5 X 4.5

Weld racing drag lites will have what you want in almost any backspace too, but they start at $340.00 a wheel.
They are a very nice lightweight polished forged wheel too
