if they have a 15mm offet they will be fine. You will need to roll the fenders for sure. but it will look dope and you will have to post pics.

Re: 15"x8" wheels will they fit
I will go with the +25 offset because they might rub if you go with another offset.

Re: 15"x8" wheels will they fit
+35 offset will cause it to rub the strut correct???

Re: 15"x8" wheels will they fit
15x8 0 offset will fit.. I test fit some sport maxx 15x8 0 offset on my car lowered with H&R this weekend and nothing rubs!
Im really considering buying them so I might get you jealous vancouverwa! haha
im just not sure because they stick out really bad... i think a 20mm offset would look best!
but I have a great deal on the 0offset.

Re: 15"x8" wheels will they fit
There is no way in hell a 0 offset wheel will fit w/o rubbing unless you've hacked up your fenders good. Since theyd stick out past the car, 1 good corner and you'd melt the rubber or bend the metall....

Re: 15"x8" wheels will they fit
LOL That tire is way too small for that wheel and our car.
I also can't see how this would work. My car lowered w/ 15x7's and a 40mm offset is only barely not rubber on the back wheel wells. If the tire stuck out 1/2"+ further, it would rub every time it compressed. Unless you are running 1000lb springs and dont expect your car to compress more than an inch, I cannot understand how what you are doing works.

Re: 15"x8" wheels will they fit
they dont rub because of the small tire... I was able to turn the front wheel completely in both direction without rubbing and the was a resonable amount of space left.
Now im not saying that they will not rub hitting a huge pot hole or something has I did not really took them for a drive.. I just drove with them in the parking lot.
