Default Stuffing a 15x7.5" rim under an EP3?

Does anyone know if it can be done? I'm just wondering it they'll hit the struts or something. I know 17x7.5s can fit, but the last time I looked the inner lip on a 15 is about level with the lower bracket on the strut, which makes the fit a little trickier. Looking to buy the 225 Falkens for next year, wouldn't mind having the widest wheels I can fit under the car for them. Only ones I know of unfortunately are TE37s and the offset isn't the most favorable for this (+43), but I don't know if the width would fit at all... anyone using something real wide? Thanks a bunch.
