I'd guess they fit fine. I am running 15X7 with about 3 7/8 (3 15/16?) BS and 225/65-15's. I run 1* negative camber front and rear (for handling, but you gain some fender clearance too), use F-41 springs and did not have to shave the fender lips. I also shimmed the front bump stops about 1", just to save the fenders if turning up a steep driveway..

Someone here has compiled a chart on what fits, but I don;'t recall how to find it...

Jim, I'd like to see some pictures of your car if you're able to post them. This is a good place to share a lot of information, and to learn a lot as well, I'm sure you'll find out for yourself.
