Ya, I have the 15x8s on mine. The backspacing of the 15x8s is to wide for
the front, but they fit fine in the back. Up front the maximum basckspcing
can only be 5" or 5.25" tops. The 15x8s have 5.5" of backspacing. AThe
reason they don't fit is that they hit the upper A-arms at full lock. To
get around this I had .5" spacers made. They cost $25. To use the
spacers, though, you have to longer studs because the stock ones or WAY too
short. I am getting Mopar Performance drag studs to fix this.
