If the spokes aren't angled away from the hub enough it can cause problems. There was a guy the other day that posted a similar thing with some 15x8 Cragars that he had got and I remember another guy attempting to put 4WD wheels on his 2WD and they didn't fit.

You could get some longer lugnuts and add spacers but since they are already 2WD offset, they're already pushed out pretty far and spacers will only push them out further

I always thought those rims were 14's... I don't see how those wouldn't work?

How much are they hitting the calipers? 1/8" 1/4" Is it a small enough amount that you can shave some material off the caliper so they will fit?

Did he say they were rubbing the caliper specifically or did he just say rubbing?
