will 15" rims clear the front brake rotors?

yes. You will probly need a 1/4" or 5/16" spacer to keep it from rubbing the calipers with 15x3.5 with a 1.75" Back space.

yea, he's right about it not fitting, but im not sure about the specifics

i tried putting on one of my dads 15x8's and there was definately some rubbing going on (no i never lowerd the car off the jack either.lol)

but hey man, got a question for you
are you sure about that size of spacer? or are you just assuming that would be about right?
because up front on my car i'll be going with a 15x6, and i can't fing out what spacer im going to need

master used 1/2 inch and it was obvioulsy too much, so . im looking for someone who might know something about it thanks

It probably really depends more on your specific wheel than anything else. I tried a set of 15x7 slots on the front of mine, and they rubbed the caliper. I think I could have ground down the part of the caliper that was rubbing, but didn't want to mess with it.

If I can find someone that makes some nice 16x7 and 16x10 slots I'll be getting away from the 17's... just looking for something different...

I was going by some other forums that i went trough looking through. I had found the 15x3.5 found one that said with the 1/4 inch spacer it worked, and others confermed it. Found another post the same way the same way with the 5/16
today found complete forum that saids 7/16 spacers, with the 15x3.5 welds


I didnt think much of it last night because 1/4 and 5/16 since were very close, when throwing that 7/16 makes me wonder a little. Each could be right, some would have a little bigger gap



the 15x6 weld's have only one backspace 3.5", and need a spacer also 7/16

15x8 welds have 3 backspaces 3.50, 4.50, 5.50. the 5.5bs doesnt require a spacer



someone double check on the 15x3.5 spacers.

I got to run
