I was going to run theses on my MKI but I'm not real good on backspacing. I am currently running stock 15'' mustang turbines and 255's. I have absolutely no room to go bigger so I was hoping to use the same tires as they are like new. My other issue with a 15'' wheel is allot of times they look good in the picture but it usually displays a larger wheel. Once you go down in diameter it changes the look of the wheel.

Your Mustang turbine wheels are 4 lug; what you show are 5 lug. You will need to change rear axles and drums/rotors as well as front rotors to use them.

I think you are looking for something that is compatible with a 94-98 Mustang. When I plug that into the model year compatibility list in your link, it says those won't fit. I have no idea how accurate their fitment tool is.
I think the 4-lug Turbines are 7" wheels with a 4 15/16" backspace (all four wheels). The wheels you are looking at are as follows:
BRAND: US Mags
STYLE: U111 Rambler
SIZE: Front:15x7,Rear:15x8
BOLT PATTERN: 5x114.3
OFFSET: Front:+1mm,Rear:+1mm
HUB BORE: 72.6
BACKSPACING: Front:4",Rear:4.5"
FINISH: Gunmetal
CONDITION: Brand New
QUANTITY: Set of 4 Wheels
PART NUMBER: U11115706540-U11115806545
FFR's own 15" wheels use the following fitment:
Front Wheel Size (Diameter x width): 15"x 8"
Rear Wheel Size (Diameter x width): 15"x 9"
Front Wheel Backspace: 5"
Rear Wheel Backspace: 5.48"
Wheel Lug Pattern: Ford style 5 lug x 4.5" bolt circle

I am changing the front calipers and rear axles/drums to the 5x114.3 lug pattern. My question is more on the back spacing.
