Default Anyone running 15"x8" w/+0 offset?? Please give me some advice!

Hi all, I am planning on buying a set of wheels size 15"x8" w/+0 offset and was wondering if anyone on here is running this setup for your EG or EK? I need to know if it will fit without having any problems/rubbin. My car's fenders have been rolled before so that 17" rims can fit while car is slammed. Please any suggestions or advice would help. Thanks in advance.

that setup will be wider than a stock setup by ~3.5" per side. wider as in track width not wheel width.

im guessing that will stick out beyond the fender by a considerable amount so even with rolled fenders its very likely you will rub very very often.
ninja edit: unless of course you maintain a stock ride height with substantial spring rates so you wont compress more than fender gap. and even then you may still rub with wheels turned.

i run 15x9's with a 12mm offset, and believe you me that you will have clearance issues without major fender mods.
