My rears are 15x8 and fit just fine with no rubbing and no spacers.

Yes but you also have about 2-3 inches of air above your tire and looking at your picture you posted your tires stick out either even with the fender or past the fender lip. To me it looks to be past the fender. Jason is usually way lower with his cars in the past. Like I mentioned there are several offsets with those rims there is a 951, 911, and I think a 930 or 944 offset

I'm a bit higher in that pic than what it's sitting now but you are correct on the tires with the lip of the fender. In that pic, I'm running coil overs on the rear but I've gone back to KYB gas shocks and it sits tighter to the fender. Still no rub. I'll try to remember to snap a pic from side and rear when I get home and post them.

Before Blasting

after blasting , the original battery tray still is solid with only minor repairs needed.

Thanks James, here is another shot with more light on it. Its a bright but once the body is on it and all the parts are mounted it will tone it down.

Looks nice. Any ground be sure and grind all the way to bare metal. I zinked then powder coated my oval chassis and I had to grind and grind to get a good ground.
