they rub all over the inner fenders, both sides. You need to basically push it in about 2" from all the maximum interference points, and spring sag may vary of course.
it's no quick job, but do-able, probably the last tire size before mini-tub is required.

some guys install 15x10 with a 6.50 back space but you have to bang the shit out of the inner fender wells. I suggest a 15x9 with a 5.50 back setting a plan on modifying the fender lip and maybe a little massaging the inner wells. Are you using a lowered spring or a factory spring?

coil overs, but i am planning on going about 1/2" lower than stock to get the proper IC vs CG
my fenders are rolled as much as possible, the lip that stuck out is know flat against the body
and i have a 10 pound sledge ready to go at the inner fender well, i have done it before to fit 305's on a fox so i can do it again
