Default Weld rts owners come in

Ordered my wheels yesterday, went with a 15x10 and 15x4. After using the search and Google I seen that some guys run into clearance issues. Just how bad is it? I bought these because I thought they were suppose to clear the brakes. I ain't to keen on grinding calipers.

I did not have any clearance issues. I bought the same size rims, med pad.. I did not like the 15x4 BS, should be 2" instead of 1.5(IMO).. I had issues with my tires hitting the inner edge of my fenders if I hit the gas hard and let off.. I pulled the 15's and went with 17x4.5 2.5 BS up front and left the 15's in the rear.. No issues now.. Good quality rims, you'll be happy..

I never had any fitment issues out of mine at all. I also had the same size setup...I agree with OIFvet, need a different offset for the fronts.

I had to ever so slightly grind my rear calipers. There are three little nubs that stick up I had to take them down just a bit, took about 5 minutes a side with a rasp, If I had felt like draggin my grinder out it would have took less than 30 seconds. Very minimal work. Others have been fine, don't know why my car was different. Getting the 325/50's to clear that was a totally different story
