    Need more specs...Wheel width is pretty important to know.

    For pics look in the reader ride section of the site.

        I think that'll work....If I am correct, I am running 17x8's with 5" and they have plenty of room to go out to the fender.

          My 17x8 bullitts are around 4.5" of backspace with the spacers, they fit great.

              what is the backspacing of stock wheels?
              do any of you have slightly wider 15" tires that are the same diameter as stock tires?

                They should. You want to find a wheel with zero offset, so the backspace is half of the over all width.

                    Stock is 215/70-15, which is a 27" diameter tire. Wider than that and perfect for the 8" rims will be the 255/60-15 tire, it's also 27" in diameter so it'll not mess up yer speedo calibration.

                      Im running 325/50 R15s (28" tall with 13" sidewall to sidewall) on a 15 x 10 wheel with 4" of backspace, with 5" of backspace you could get away with rolling the fender lip, with the 4" like i have i have to keep the rear up high to keep the tire out of the fender.
