Why do you think you must run 3.5" backspacing? Do you have some custom front suspension? I have run 3.75" BS wheels on a BUNCH of G-bodies over the years & I can't count the number of guys running Vette 15" x 8" with 4" BS. In any event, if you really can only run 3.5" BS on the front, the only Olds SS (aka "Rallye") wheel that will fit is an SS III, 14" x 6". They were 3.5" BS.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to get any Olds SS wheel in 8". All Olds SS wheels are 14" x 6", 14" x 7" or 15" x 7". SS I & SS II are 14" x 6" or 14" x 7". The SS III's are available in 14" x 6" & 15" x 7", but be careful- SS IIIs with bolt-on centercaps will rub on the upper A-arms on G-body!! The 80's SS wheels are 15" x 7" & all chrome. 80's H/O chromies have a red pinstripe.

Cool, Doug! The only thing is, if he really has to have 3.5" BS, he's still stuck with 14" x 6" or 15" x 6".
