I had 15 inch rims that looked exactly like that. I had BFG AT/KOs on them (33 inch) with a 3 inch lift and I got a bit of rub at full lock when getting out of a parking space.

Good rims. But I believe the brand was american racing and I have no idea what the backspacing was.

Also, how will spacers make the problem worse? Spacers create more room between the hub and wheel which will put the tire out further. My 96 had a 1 inch spacer.

mounted the tires, left the spacers to allow full turning radius, came out great. the 15s are awesome looking!

They do look good. Just watch them curbs or you'll scrape them sore thumbs real good. It's you that cares about them, nobody else! I like the headlights.
