Well, you do not need 15mm spacers. You can either bore out the back of your rims to make room for captive setup or you can go with 8mm spacers.

The heads of the bolts only come out 7mm. Also if you get wheel spacers, make sure to get hub centric wheel spacers.

It depends on the rims you have. In most cases no, unless its really thin. All you would need to bore out 4 holes 7 mm's

In the rear you have non captive setup so you should be fine. I'm not talking about the BIG hub bolt when I mean boring out your rims. It's the little ones I'm referring too.

i dont see those spacers fitting with the captive bolts. those fuggers are a lot bigger than those little oddly drilled holes in the spacers.
