I don't have a pics of them on the car yet but this pic may help you see what kind of lip they have and give you an idea of how they might look. Tires are 275/50/15s. You should only have to grind the calipers in the rear to get them to fit with this sized tire. In the front you can run a 5/16" spacer and not have to do any grinding, you'll want to pick up some longer studs if you do that. There is a thread floating around somewhere with pics of how much grinding you'll have to do in the rear.

do you know if you have to run the spacers in the front. Or can you just grind the **** out of the calipers.

You can either run spacers in the front and grind a little, or grind a lot and run no spacers. Pics in sig without spacers. Go to my cardomain for more pics

i have 15x10 weld prostars with 275/50/15 MT DR's on back, and 15x3.5 up front with kumho radials. for both the front and rear, i ground and ran a spacer. on the backs, i had to remove the bumpstops because the tires were too wide and hit. here are some pics:
