Default new wheels and tires

i checked out the fitment chart in the FAQ but didn't find what I was looking for.

I have 225/60-15 right now on cheapy chrome wheels that I want to replace...

I'm thinking about these wheels here click

I didn't see any wheels with the same backspacing as these in the chart.....3 7/8" on a 15 x 7 wheel

I want to go a little bit wider than the 225's that I have now (maybe 235's or 245's) , but i don't know what i can fit with these wheels without rubbing.

oh and i already rolled the fender lips a little bit because apparently i have the incorrect backspacing right now

thanks for any ideas

If you don't see it on the fitment charts, it is probably too wide of a BS to fit without rubbing. Try to stay within the limits of BS for a better fit. Yes, the fender roll will give you some latitude on the wideness of the tire, but the BS is critical to fit on the inside of the fender well.
