alright...how much would i need to lift in order for no rubbing?
 












the backspacing on the rims im lookin at is 4" is that enough?
 












I would not run a 15x10 rim on any X unless it has at least 4+ inches of lift... stick with 15x8, its enough.

He's talking about a 16" rim.
 






You can always measure it and see it will fit. You will need to know what tire and rim dimensions are on the vehicle and what tire and rim dimesions you have planned. You do the math.
 






The question is: Why in the fawk would you do that? It would look uber ghey.
