    15x8 with 4 Inch backspace. Tested!

    Well for a thought they will not work....in terms of being flush of course. I put a set of Diamond racing 15x8 with a 4in. backspace on just to check em out and they stick out about 2 1/2 inches past the fenders. So if you were to do some major pulling/reworking the fenders or flaring then go for it because they look amazing. Otherwise I wouldnt advise it with a stock setup. Lowered like I am I only ended up with a little less than a half inch gap between fender and tire...so a hard bump would probably rape the fenders if I were to use that kind of setup. I bought them for a buddy whose gonna sport em on his girls Wagovan, but hes gonna be using a good bit of camber though. I will post some shitty cell phone pics when I get off work.

    Heres my crappy cellphone pics, all I got before I sold em.

    don't really want to roll any fenders or run any weird offset... i had some 13x6.5 basketweaves and they were +12 or some offset, rubbed on the back even on a 13" wheel, annoying ftw.

    Camber FTL. Wear out your tires, kill your handling, and look goofy all in one shot. :-P A few degrees of camber is ok, but obvious camber like that is just goofy.
