I have 15x10 pro stars... I will say that mine fit Slightly inside the wheel well>>>>NO rolled fenders... It will tuck the slick on a lowered car>>>Its almost too close for comfort on the bulge section with the fender>>>> BUT to make them fit I had to cut out the factory bump stop section... and then get a little creative with a mini sledge on a small section of the inner fender...

I dont have pics at work BUT I do at home... the sledgehammer part is not as bad as it sounds...BUT the bump stop cutoff was no fun...LOL

I THINK your right..I cant remember what the size was..LOL...I got them from Guido...

BUT I will say this... the sledgehammer work and the cutting the bump stop was because of the TIRES more than the rim..just the bulge part of the slick rubbed the inner fender and the bumpstop when the suspension unloaded

You need 5.5" back spacing.

My lip is not rolled, running an 11.5 tire. You have to slightly "massage" the inner fender well (front), but nothing major.
