Should fit, depending on tires and ride height. May need to roll rear guards.

Most likely not. I ran +22, +23 (and everything else nearby down to +18) and it was only when I ran 9.5 +15 (F&R) did it bump slightly. (Just on pot holes and speed bumps)

If you run them with a maximum of 255/40F and 275/40R, you should have no problems, even conservatively lowered.

Of course, there will be those that say you can run 11"+ with 0 or negative camber.... and you can!! If you camber them way outside of spec. Hmmmm, not.

Thanks for the response, kind of confuse so if I run using 255/40F and 275/40R will be no problem with 15 offset?
Thanks.

Like I said, with +15 offset and those tire n' wheel sizes, you will 90% likely need to roll the guards.

With +22 offset and those tire/wheel sizes, 90% likely NOT need to roll.

With 255 fronts, you MIGHT also need to cut the fender liner screw at top.

You'll notice I say "might" and "maybe" a lot (along with "90%")... that's because nothing is absolute. Different cars behave differently depending on age, type of equipment, etc. Giving you pretty good, if general, answer to the question of fitment.
