Default EK wheel fitment probable issues?

Considering picking up a pair of XXR 002 wheels with 195 50R15 tires... wheels are 15X8 with a 2.5" offset I believe! Anyone know if I am going to have trouble fitting them? Will I have to use spacers or pull fenders or anything fancy like that? Any help would be awesome, thanks!

2.5'' is ~62mm

If the wheels are +62 (which I highly doubt they are) You will have major clearence issues.
If fact, I can promise you, you wont be putting them on the car without spacers.

I needed spacers for +55 to clear my trailng arms.

it's going to look MEXIFLUSH. Ditch those ugly wheels and get something that will fit.

Alright sorry guys, I was NOT looking at offset.... My bad! Anyway, here is a link with the wheel that I am prospecting.

I will be doing a rear disk swap, will that affect whether these wheels will fit?

Cheers for the help!

Get ready to pull/roll the fenders. Going with stretched tires also, aren't you?
