Draglite question

I'm looking at a set of draglites in trade for my rims. They are 15x4 front with 2.5" backspace and 15x8 rear with 4.5" backspace.

I want to know how would they fit? Will they stick out? Will they work? I know I have to grind the capliers, I'm not worried bout that I just want to make sure they will work and look good.

Thanks

I think your problem will be in the rear because I believe it takes a 15x8 with 5.5 backspacing to sit flush with the fenderwell. This means your tire will sit out an inch, look weird, and more than likely hit the fenderwell. I wouldn't buy those wheels because they will give you a headache.
