you would need a spacer on the rears, and probably have to minitub it or beat the crap out of the wheel well

You're going to have to test fit them. Some 15" wheels require spacers in the front or modification of the rear brake calipers to clear the calipers, pad springs, etc.

Are you sure the rears are MINUS "-"51mm offset? That would yield a wheel with about a 4.5" backspace and an 8.5" front dish. Those would stick about 5" to 6" outside the fender. A 4th Gen need a PLUS "+"51mm offset, to yield a 7.5" backspace and a 3.5" front dish on a 10" wide wheel. You aren't going to fit a 12" wide wheel under the fender without moving the LCA's inward.

injuneer, the wheels are at my parents right now, they've been stored there for a while, still in the boxes. I'll get the specs off the boxes next weekend, but those were the numbers the crager site gave.
