15x8 wheel fitment (fronts)

Yes i know this has been talked about before, was wondering to the people that have done this, i know trochoid had 15x8 on his FB, by any chance do you have any pics of the 15x8 before you went widebody?

To help anyone out, i'll plan on running VERY rolled fenders, and custom offset rims, and it will be somewhat slammed on coilovers front and rear.

I recomend a 15x8 with 4.75 backspace. That will give you a nice tuck and it wont stick outside the fenders.

My Eps are 15X7, with 225/50/15s, they did not clear the front fender lip with lowering springs, thus, the widebody project started. I believe they have the same backspace that Wacky mentioned, but I have never measured it. When I first drove the car, with stock fenders, the tires did a little fender rolling of thier, only down and out, not up and out.
