    Will you be running arch trims or not???

    You will be able to fit an 8x15 ET 15 with little problem with rolled arch's, best to have arch trims on though to keep the wheel inside the arch line.

    As requested few pics, 8x15" with a 120mm drop, no bullsh1t. No rubbing, only way to do this is build the car around the bodywork. You can't just bolt wide wheels on!! Arches have had a lot of work inside but are basically standard.
