Default American Racing 15x8 fit?
Anyone know if the American Racing 15x8 (4" backspace) fits? I will be running them on a RK 2.5" w/ 33's, any rubbing?

They should fit but if possible do a test fit first. I have 15x10 pro comps with 3.75" bs. They are really close to rubbing the caliper bracket but worked with no mods.

You should see my synergy tie rod lol. The caliper has about 3/8" clearance and is in no danger of hitting the rim.

It only hits if you rotate it all the way forward, but that hasn't happened. The washers are there to seat the taper so I could tighten the lock nut.
