theres a ton of threads on the whole 15" rim controversy, but moral of the story is: some fit, some dont. you have to try it. i have a set of cragar soft 8's w/ 4.5" B.S. that just barely rubbed the calipers, but with a set of $12 1/4" spacer it was smooth sailing. others have put the same rims on without issue.
