Default 15 inch cragar soft 8 question

will someone let me know if cragar soft 8's in a 15x8 with a 4'' bs will still need spacers to clear the calipers? If any one has gone this route is there any drawbacks to going to a 15 in wheel? 33's seem to be alot cheaper in the 15'' compared to the 16 or 17''.

There is a handy search funcion.

I know there's a thread on what 15" wheels will fit. I have ProComp Series 98's in a 15x10 that don't rub at all but look VERY CLOSE(1/8th of an inch, maybe) and they have less than 4 inches of BS.

My Pro Comp Series 97 15x8 3.75"BS barely, barely scrape the calipers. Like Planman said, 1/16" off the calipers and yer good.
