you can screw on the radials

I think they'd stick out though, really should get 5.5" BS for a 15x8

ya they will stick out a little...you can screw the raiald on the inside

i think what you mean to ask is can you use the rims without screws and the answer would be yes...i dont think they will leak air....

.

As said, you do not have to screw a drilled wheel. They do not leak, if the hole is in the normal place.

I think it'll look a bit goofy though (just exposed holes on the wheels)...if it has holes, I'd put the screws in
