15mm spacer with a ET20 wheel makes it ET5. Possible rubbing depends now on the width of the wheel. And if it's 8,5" wide, it will very likely rub. Maybe even with a 8" wheel too. Oh, and it depends on the tire size too, and if you're using the recommended size, again it would likely rub.

yeh the wheels are 8inches wide and tyre size is 245.
Imagine the wheel 15mm more out and you can see it will cause a problem...

believe it or not i took my rear spacer (20mm) and tried it on one of the front wheel. turned it, drove around it abit, it was actually ok! i m pretty confident 15mm would be ok too
