It should fit. I run the pro-kit and 15x10
My best friend runs the sportlines with 15x10 bogarts with no problems.

We both did have to roll our fenders. He had to bang in the inside behind the wheel just a tad because he rubbed.

someone makes a fender roller that I hear works good. You can always do the baseball bat method also. My paint held up fine and I actually had to hit some spots with a hammer.

thought i remember reading somewhere to take an x-acto knife and slice the paint right along the underside of the lip so that when you roll it it doesn't chip the paint, just seperates at the "cut" line.

Yep as well as put several peices of maskin tape all along the inside of the paint. 3/8s from the wheel well should be sufficient for the cut.

yes as far as i understand this is how you do it. cut 3/8 from the wheel well on the lip. Then tape it up with masking tape. Then try to get teh rear end as low on the ground as possible (as many freinds as you can put in teh back) And then SLOWLY roll the bat.
