The wheels will fit. Not 100% on the 245/55's, but they should deffinitely fit if you're on stock springs.

hey thansk for the reply,

how did you get outlaw 16*8's to work? i don't see one with a 5-4.75 bolt pattern. adapter? do 15's stick out an extra 2 " cause they only have a backspacing of 3.75 compaired to i thinkt eh 16*8 having 4.5?

i origionally wanted iroc 16*8's for the performance/bigger diameter/wider possibel tire.. what would be the diff with a 15*8, coud i get 245/55r15's on and still clear everything? what is the issue with clearance? diameter/width/the thickest part of teh tire?
thansk for the replys,
again re asap , not long left in teh auction, but if i can get 16*8's to work i may wait....
and thanks for putting up with my many tyops as i type in excitement and haste...
tj

lol, ok there are people lookign at it... can you guys please try to help out? just don't know? i think if they exist , the 16*8's would be better for the 4.5 inch back spacing so they don't stick out form the car... (vs the 3.75 on teh 15x8's up for auction...) i think the 15*8's will stick out another 2" over what my 15*7 stock rims do... ???
thanks
tj
