No. not even close.

to give you an idea of how pitiful S15's are for wheel fitment,a 17x8 +35 sits flush with the std guards.

i got 18 x 8 35+ and 18x9 35+ and they fill in teh guards nicely. had to roll the rears, but if yuor car isnt to low you most likely wont have to,

The fronts would of been a perfect fit, however i forgot to add the face of the wheel into the equation and the calipers hit my wheels so i needed spacers, still looks good though

As the others have stated, they won't fit practically. However it all depends on size of the tyres used front and rear, ride height, camber etc.

I have seen the same widths in similar offsets on factory bodied S15's with only a roll of the guards. However they sacrifice tyre life using excessive negative camber for 'fitment'.

Thanks guys, now i know i'm not going to take it.
I have CE28n in 17x7.5 +43 front and 17x8.5 +30 rear in silver in my garage. Not sure to keep or sell them? Not sure it will look good on a white car. This thing should sits nicely on s15 , should it?

i know that S14 can fit more lower offset then s15, so how far does it sticks out of your guards? :)
