I will be lowering my car on skunk2 springs ( About a 2inch drop). I want to get this:

... The sportmax 002... I want the 15x8 exactly. Now the question I need help with is... Can I put these rims on and not have issues about rubbin or not have to worry about rollin the fenders? I know they have the 15x7... but the actual lip is half the size on the 15x7
..
Thanks!

the offset of the 15x8 is +25 and it may require rolling fenders.
It's not too difficult and there is only one way to really find out.

How would you recomend rolling the fenders? should I do it the old school way with a baseball bat or actually get the tool for it? So after I roll the fenders, will everything be alright? Or will I also have a little bit of shock rub?

the offset on the 15x8 on these is a +0....roll your fenders and your gonna half to have over 3.5 degrees of negative camber
....+20 or +25 offset it good but +0 is gonna be difficult to pull off without rubbing

DAMN! So even rolling the fenders I will still have rubbing? ... Damit.. What is the cons of having negative camber... just messed up tires?

you will need to find those rims with a +25 offset. They make them, those will just need fender rolling. The 0 offset ones wont really work for you.

the sportmax 501's are 15x8 +15 offset...that would be a little easier to tuck

yeah... here they are.. they look sweeet... I just want to make sure with you guys that if i get the sport max 501 15x8 with +15 offset, I wont have any shock rubbing if I roll the fenders. Is this correct or no?

You will have to run 195/50 or 195/45s to clear the fender.
