Specifically 15x8 but I'm sure folks would love to know about 15x9 as well. I'm not man enough for 15x10 ...yet
Remember, I'm trying to replace my stock 15x6 because they sure ain't gonna fit. I'd love another set of 6ULs but $650 is another set of 6ULs -or- a set of Jongbloeds -and- DD tires (DZ102s or something.) I'm stuck driving to track days so I need something inexpensive that will fit over track brakes. A set of the Jongbloeds appear to fit the bill perfectly. Provided they fit.

I would street drive with that much clearance. If I was using them on the track, I would use about an 8mm spacer in the hope that I could get the caliper to barel clearance to around the 4-5+mm range.
Shawn, you bought the wheels and drove all the way to my house. The booty is yours to claim.

Agreed with Jared, the 5mm is clear but given how the wheel tapers out an 8mm would buy you more room for the 15x8. Wish we had a 15x9 to test but given how much room the 15x10 had I'm sure that's fine. The 15x10s had plenty of daylight between caliper and wheel.
No worries on the money, if I ever make it to the west coast buy me some nice local beers. Otherwise I'm happy to help out the community.
