Default wheel backspacing question

Just got some eagle alloys 186's off C.L. 15x8
backspacing on these wheels are 3 1/2

my stocks are about 4 1/2
my question is this. Can I run these rims with a 1" adapter?
These wheels are the wrong lug pattern. 5x120
Any ideas?
thanks

You could but it would be pretty wide. The 3.5 back spacing will out your tires out an inch wider than the 4.5, then add the 1 inch spacer on top of that. I thought stock backspacing was 5.5.
