According to Wheel Vintiques they cannot build a 15x8 with less than 4.25" of back space without reversing the hoop. Also, you cannot fit a factory disc brake caliper inside a reversed hoop. So, either WV is wrong and they can build it standard, or the SBS site is not correct or is lacking information. I'm not really blaming anyone but I'm now a lot smarter about 15" wheels. Just wish I didn't have to waste about $400 to figure it out. That is for the fronts. The rears are hitting on the rear face of where the wheel center is stamped out. I think I can put them in the mill and just remove some of the excess material there. Fingers crossed or I'm out another $400.
